WOO HOO !!! Congrats Liz, I am so excited for you !!!






Okay, they are making me open up an Amazon account - which I don't mind except they don't offer PayPal as an option from what I've seen on your book's page.

Can you tell them you want Paypal added as a payment option to your page? I don't use anyone but Paypal for online purchases, even paid for all my dogs; games; and site memberships with it.

I can put Paypal on there. I was being lazy when I set up payment options lol

Oh good! I'll start warming up my credit card as soon as my husband starts mowing the yard, lol. He gets nervous seeing me on the internet with my credit card out, lol.

I'm trying to figure it out lol

I am not good at the internet.

Let me know when Paypal is on there, I've got the page open waiting.

Interesting preview of your book there, Liz. As always you write very good intros describing environments, putting small details here and there which really sets the mood.


I´m genuinely happy you got published!!

Amazon doesn't use pay-pal anymore and because I'm an idiot and didn't look this up I accidentally re-published my book.

Gaaaah, what will that do? Okay, this is what I found out. I have to use Paypal to buy a "Gift Card" and then use that gift card. Instead of doing that I'm waiting till my son comes home to see if he has got one, he use to use them from Walmart to pay for his 360 Gold or online games he played.

I just don't want my bank account on the internet other than Paypal, who already has had it for years now.

I'm with you mALX - I prefer PayPal whenever I can. A book club that I've been a member of for many years (over 30??) recently switched their payment structure from Featured Selections that auto-ship every month (which I have to log in to decline if I don't want them - no big deal) to automatic credits that you get charged - two credits worth $13.99 each that you can then apply toward the purchase of books. I'm sorry, but I don't like the idea of being auto-charged every month for something that I may use once or twice a year, if that. Now they're bugging me to add a credit card on file. Sorry, no. I don't have a credit card and even if I did, I wouldn't put it on file with them.

The book is still there.

Yeah, I was not going to get an Amazon card to make one purchase, and this is the very first thing I've ever even considered buying from them.




Sorry about that. My son is in his finals at school; he is staying with friends in the dorm for the next few days. I have found a work-around, but it involves buying a gift card with Paypal and then using the gift card. Well, they don't have gift cards for low amounts like that; and I don't want to make other online purchases.

So what I plan to do is when Finals end and my son comes home, send him to Walmart to get me a paid gift card. They can be used for anything and everything; they are what my son uses to pay his online play with.

I'm coming for it, don't worry!!!

How is it doing so far, I'll bet it is doing great !!!

Lol that's fine, it'll be there still. It's doing fine, five purchases is pretty good for me literally going on here and facebook and saying "Hey, I wrote a book, surprise!"

I think there is some agency that will push it in advertising for 8% or something; and right now it is free on Kindle, so I wonder if they will give you some bump for any Kindle downloads; or if they count them in your total.

I remember the FF site had a day to day breakdown of reads by month; and another page broke those readers down by the region the reader lived in - I loved that feature. I learned that Maxical was biggest in America, Great Britain, Sweden, Australia, Hong Kong, and China in that order from most reads to least; then there were many countries where there might be only one read per month, etc. Do you get that with your publishing now?

I haven't been on the FF in years, don't even remember what my password is there.

If I do, they haven't told me, lol. I enrolled it in a promotional program and if it's accepted, they'll push the book on their site, advertise it elsewhere, and do random deals where it's cheaper or free (which is fine, best way to get me hooked on a new series is to make it free at some point.)

Like a drug dealer, get you hooked on reading Liz and then up the cost, (And very easy to get hooked on your writing); I remember your story here - Awesome writing!

Happy Mothers Day to the wonderful Ladies of Chorrol who have earned that title!

Although Mothers Day is not celebrated universally on the same day in all countries, this is the day in the US of A.

Happy Mother's Day all!


My older son sent me a present, it hasn't come yet and he won't tell me what it is - I'm just hoping it didn't get taken from our mailbox, which sits 3 acres away from our house and can't be seen by any of the houses on this street. He is back from Afghanistan and called me early this morning and talked till 3 PM - that was the best present he could ever give me!

My younger son is bringing me dinner from the Cheesecake Factory (Not Penny, just the dinner). Stuffed mushrooms; crab bites; Chicken Madiera with Steak Diane for the entree; and Khalua cheesecake for dessert.

MMMMMMM!

So my Mother's day is ROCKIN' !!!!!!!!

Good for you, mALX!

We actually celebrated Mother's Day yesterday, with a trip up to North Freedom to ride the Mother's Day Dinner Train. It was a great choice, as we had a full five course meal inspired by the Napa Valley wine trains (we even had local wine from here).

We spent the night at a kitschy-cute motel/inn and got home today. Now we are relaxing and doing nothing, really. Well, Mom's doing nothing, and I'm playing Skyrim.

Mother's day sucked. I got ignored by my own husband.

But it also was the day my book went up for free until Thursday!

But... isn´t it a bad thing that your book is free?
