I just got a note from my publisher that from June 27 to August 7 the ebook of The Divorce Diet is on sale for $2.99 at “all major retailers.” Define the words in quotes as best you can, because I can’t.

Well … the bit in quotes I can cope with as I steadily row my boat up the Amazon. No, it’s the dates June 26 – August 7 that confuse me. Not the dates themselves, I hasten to add. I can cope with dates. What happens to your book before and after these dates. Are we talking about an electronic version of Farenheit 451 here! Or is it like Cinderella’s glass slipper ?
Anyway … I am going to have a quick look as the title alone THE DIVORCE DIET is so catchy and $2.99 seems very reasonable. All the best. Kris. 😀

Before and after that it’s somewhere between more or less $9 and more or less $13. I should probably have waited until it was actually on sale, but anytime I see numbers my brain shuts down, so I didn’t think about that before I posted it. I’ll try to remember to repeat the announcement once the sale actually starts. So no, it doesn’t disappear in a flash of smoke and pixels, it just costs more.

Well, major e-retailers include Amazon….yeah, that’s all I’ve got. ☺ Van

Given the opportunity, I boycott them. They pay less in taxes than the corner store (I exaggerate slightly, I admit, but honestly, it’s obscene) and their working conditions sound horrendous, but their reach is wide, and sometimes they’re the only thing that works. So yes, major.

I think a “major retailer” is defined as one who is carrying your book. Therefore all the major retailers have it. There, that was easy!

Of course. Anyone who doesn’t carry my book is substandard, minor, and several other disparaging adjectives. Why didn’t I understand that from the start?

Perfect timing. Currently on the hunt for Kindle fodder for an upcoming vacation. :-)

Beware of the start date–June 27. I should probably have waited before I posted the announcement.

So official, Miss Hawley! I’ll have to start a countdown now (23 days to go and counting). And it would be accurate to say “all major retailers”, I’m sure. :)

As I’ve said in a couple of other comments, watch out for the start date. I should have waited and posted this a bit later.

I’ll be on the lookout for it :-) No worries about posting sooner…it makes the anticipation more exciting :-)
Happy Friday!

That’s an advantage to being so behind in my reading. It’s actually on sale now. Is this a congratulations occasion? If so, congratulations.

Somewhere in my contract, I’m sure, some small print says that if it’s on sale I get paid in lollipops instead of cash, but what the hell, at this point I just want to get the book read.
