Twenty Palaces not for sale

Brain Overload!

Some folks might have noticed that certain online sellers no longer show Twenty Palaces, my self-published prequel novel, as available for sale.

There’s a brief, frustrating story behind that: I lowered the price just before Giftmas and now some sellers don’t seem able to get the message that the price should return to it’s previous level. It’s the “channels” through Smashwords that are causing the basic problem, which of course means that Amazon is cutting the price on their site, as they do.

I’m not sure what the problem is. Sony, et al, got the update that lowered the price, but multiple attempts to revise it since have gone unnoticed.

So I’m in the process of pulling it from all of those stores. Once they’re all gone, I’ll begin listing them again, but at the price *I* set.

It’s frustrating and a waste of time, but I don’t have a lot of choice. In the meantime, B&N and iBookstore have been responsive and are currently selling the books. You’ll have to buy them from there for now.

How did you get B&N to show the right price? I've tried thru Smashwords for months.

I published with B&N directly through Pubit.

I should add that Pubit pays monthly while Smashwords pays quarterly. I'd opt out of B&N through the Smashwords channel manager and sign up with Pubit.

Happy to report that I just got it at B&N. I'm so disappointed to hear that the Twenty Palaces series is on hiatus -- hope springs eternal, I want to hear what happens next! -- but I'm looking forward to reading the prequel.
