Sandy Nathan's YOUR SHELF LIFE

Pat Bertram is an accomplished author whose work I love. It’s my pleasure to welcome her to Indie Gems. Indie Gems exists to showcase fine independently produced books and their authors. Indie Gems has a few rules, to which I will adhere. Pat Bertram and her work certainly fit the criteria for Indie Gems. Pat and I spoke about her novel, Daughter I Am. I wondered about her process as she wrote the book as well as what she had to say to upcoming writers. In addition to her wonderful books, Pat maintains a strong web presence and is generous in helping other authors. She could give us a seminar on social media, as well as discussing her book! Here we concentrate on Daughter I Am , a suspenseful and fascinating novel.

Those of you who’ve following my Plucky Grandmother series, here and here, will know that I’ve scheduled promotional days where two of my KIndle eBooks will be offered free. The promotion is this weekend, October 12, 13, & 14th.

Except that my book, The Angel & the Brown-eyed Boy, was/is listed on Apple’s iBookstore. I didn’t know it until Amazon told me about it. If you’re in Amazon’s KDP program, which allows you to give away your Kindle eBooks, you can’t distribute anywhere else.

After a series of supremely unhelpful emails between Amazon and me, I assumed I lost the argument. Then I received the following email from Amazon.
The letter congratulates me on getting my eBook into the KDP Select program. But it’s been in the program since May or something. It’s already had one KDP Free Promotion. Is this Amazon’s way of saying, “We hear you, Sandy, here’s a few more days to get The Angel exclusive to Amazon.”

The only way I’ll know is to wait and see if The Angel is free tomorrow. What surprises on the morn!
