What has happened to my reviews?

Any theories on why that is?

I just looked, its being offered for free under Kindle unlimited. If so do you still get classed as a sale under that?

[Marmalade]

I’m not a Kindle user but Nik might answer that. When I look for books on Amazon I often click the ‘used’ button to see if there’s a bargain going. The s/h sellers usually include something like “slightly worn but otherwise in good condition” or “first page missing”. I was hoping to find “some pages marked with comments” or even “some pages mysteriously stuck together” but alas no s/h copies. Seems people are hanging on to their purchases.

Yes I am aware of this. Not sure whether it gets classed as a sale but I expect it does.
For the record the punting book has made me around £600 plus around $150 and a little in other territories. Sounds ok, and would be great over eight weeks, but this is over eight years. Not had a sale since February.
The gambling book has made about £250 and about $70 and last sale was in May. In the last couple of years it has outsold the punting book.
Only had one month ever without at least one sale until this year, but so far there have already been two blank months.
I have some others on there too, some under different name, but these two have made far more than all the others put together.

The JK Rowling nom de plume seems to be working well, I think you ought to concentrate on that one Nik.

You are wasted on here!

Oh, I dunno, I get the odd chuckle here and there

Are you able to easily change the front cover. As many people judge a book by its cover and its not the best.

Its a shame the photo of Regan frothing at the mouth from the Exorcist is not free in the public domain. As it would be a good representative photo of some of the reactions of WGs over the years to get people to want to read.

Or given she used to just shove photos up of people without a care. Could you not put a photo of L4F on the front cover from her profile...(even to this day I am still frightened to even say her name).

What about maybe something more sultry. Upper class totty getting EAS’ed by some normal looking middle aged guy, and a byline indicating she’s actually an escort, pleasures and pitfalls of paid dating, personal services.

I’m thinking if we perhaps have something a bit mainstream-looking (or even the same book with a cover that doesn’t make you look pervy for reading it, that you can read without being judged, then it could even pick up sales say in airport bookshops. Easier to hide from an OH. OK to read on the bus or train on the way to a punt. Etc.

P4P is no longer a cheap bit of loose knickers behind a filthy disused warehouse (which actually used to be quite fun); now it’s for people with disposable income, able to pay the stupid prices being charged, and who want P4P twice a week while pretending it doesn’t happen in their oh-so-respectable unfucking life. Posh people pay posh prices. They don’t want to be seen as gutter-cunts, and the days of sharing a giggle over a centrefold with guys in the office are mostly a thing of the past. Just my thoughts ... since for a large proportion of people if they think of clicking ‘Buy’ they’ll also be saying ‘when am I gonna have peace to fucking read it??’

She’d probably spend hours hunting him down on every media site she could hack, send multiple complaints to Amazon, and then steal the fucking lot and change words to blow it out of her own arse and make herself look big.

Is she still prossying?
I actually saw her!
Ironically she was the only prossy who knew me as Nik. I usually used my real name.
