I'm a week late in noticing the email, but Kindle print/Amazon is increasing the print cost of paperbacks on June 20, 2023.
In fairness, they haven't done a lot of the serious price hiking other printers have done over the last few years -- Ingram Spark increased their print costs 3x since Phangs came out 2.5 years ago.
But it does mean I may need to adjust prices again or risk earning negative money on print costs in places like Australia and Canada.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Surprise! I hereby announce that I'll be releasing my second book 'Eight Lines' on March 30, 2024! It features 56 eight line rhyming poems in the form of AABBCCDD that have yet to be posted on my social feeds! I will be selling it for $17.50AUD plus delivery via Amazon! If you love my work and have some money to spare, please support me by buying a copy, so I can afford to feed my family! Always, FRESCO 🖤
I started this book in late 2016/early 2017, and it has been through so many iterations before finally becoming what it is now.
When I first published this book in 2018, it was impulsive and unfinished; I was just so excited to have written a novel people might buy.
Now, I'm at a stage in life where this story (all three parts of it) have helped me heal so much of my own trauma and hurts, and I want it to do the same for others.
For everyone who doesn't have a family, who has found family, who are dealing with trauma and the shitty things life has to throw at us.
To the survivors and the ones who refused to give up. The ones who shouted fuck you to the people who told them they'd never amount to anything.
Whether you pay for this story or get the free, kindle unlimited version, I want to thank you for giving it a chance, and for supporting me. <3
Hey, folks--running out the door for the day, but I wanted to share this bit of good news for those of you concerned about those AI-generated foraging books. In short, Amazon KDP is going to limit how many new books a given user can upload to their platform to three per day. Given how many titles even one person using AI can crank out in a day, this is a good move. It won't completely stop the flow of fake foraging books, but it's a step in the right direction.
More on this topic later, but for now I'm celebrating a small victory.

Terradox's third book is complete, but it won't see publication straight away. Found out, due to some issues with Google docs' autocorrect, there are errors in the first book of My Cute Vampir despite having gone through two editing processes. It's going through a third, and though the originals are still posted, they will be replaced with the corrected manuscripts soon. Up to chapter 40 out of 100 in the correction process.
As you might know, Amazon recently did an overhaul of their category system.
Today, we can go into our KDP and select 3 categories from there…No more BISACs, or requesting more through forms. Just 3 and done.
Sounds pretty simple right?
Well, on the surface it seems that way. But there are some serious problems with it that you need to know about. [...]
This is my first foray into self-publishing with Amazon. I’m releasing a revised version of my short story, “But I Do Love You” into an original plot. The book is novella length. Depending on how the launch goes, I might expand the series and do some full length books with different characters.
The title on Amazon is “Better Late Than Never,” by Alice Westbrooke. I’m doing a free promotion right now, so please go check it out and pick up a copy at no cost.

You guys have been a wonderful encouragement to me these past two years as I’ve gotten back into writing. Your comments and feedback have helped me rebuild my confidence as a creator. A free copy of something you guys helped motivate me to write is the least I can do to say thank you.
