The first 100 people to use this coupon code ( VY46X ) between now and the end of Black Friday will receive a free copy of my latest book, Test Subjects Wanted. You will have to create an account but the book is free after registering. This is a story about Thomas, a bright young man with a limited career path at his present place of employment. A chance look at a help wanted ad was about to change his life. He didn't know what he would be doing but he knew the money was a lot better than his entry-level tech support job at the electronics store. What amount of cash would it take for him to commit a significant amount of his life to something he would never want anyone else to find out about? Something that left no permanent effects and would ultimately help humanity as a whole but required a significant personal sacrifice by him? Follow Thomas as he makes a better life for himself and the world but at what cost to his dignity? This documents his participation in a medical research study, one where all of the test subjects are diapered and force-fed for the duration of the project. With the procedures the doctors have performed on the subjects, they have no choice but to use the diapers they are locked into. At least he will have company.

The book that was originally blocked on Amazon sold several copies on Smashwords and I've since renamed it and created a new cover and it is now on Amazon. Go figure!

Nice story!

Yo no hablo portugues but this is the Brazil link. See if it works: https://www.amazon.com.br/dp/B07JGDGFTW I can also post any other links if anyone can't get the free copy.

This books, Halloween Again? is free this weekend and available now.

I've been scouting around and several folks in the erotic author realm had good things to say about Draft 2 Digital. I'm going to check them out and see if they look like anything worthy trying. I'm definitely not leaving all of my eggs at Amazon after my experience.

I've sold five books in the last 5 days. Pretty good so far. As soon as the Amazon exclusive deal expires, I'll move a few more over and see what happens.

I did several years ago. I had probably 20+ stories on here at one time. The forums were corrupted, things were lost. I generally give a book away once a month or so to show my appreciation to DD. Last month I gave away Thin Walls Trilogy: Book 3 - A Home of Their Own. That marked the whole trilogy being available for free this last several months. I'm giving away my Halloween Again? book the first weekend of October. I put them on Amazon for a wider audience to be able to view. Making beer money is just gravy.

Smashwords is similar to Amazon in that you pay nothing and they pay you when you sell books. They also distribute your book to other sellers like B&N and Apple. I'm not sure if they distribute through Amazon but I'm going to skip them with this book and see what happens. I would never publish through someone that charges a fee to the author/publisher for ebooks. I seriously doubt I would deal with anyone that charges for a paperback upfront. Another thing with Smashwords is they have an audiobook hook with a partner. It is an extra expense but I've not investigated it yet. I don't know if there is a market for diaper fetish adult audiobooks Interestingly enough, the book sold two copies in the first 12 hours. I've made more in 1/2 a day than I did in two days on Amazon. I'm sure it is just a fluke. Long term results make a trend, not a one day surge.

I've put a new book up at Smashwords. It is my first there. You can read the first chapter or two there if it seems interesting to you. Test Subjects Wanted

So I've published the blocked one on Amazon book to Smashwords. We shall see how that goes. It was a bit more work but it was not terrible. Took me about 4 hours for the first one and half of that was reworking a cover because it has to be much larger with Smashwords than Amazon.

Especially when they won't even tell you WHICH of the many guidelines you violated. Frankly, my sales are a rounding error to 3 decimal places to them but it is the principle. I feel like Dean Wormer has me on double secret probation and I'm about to throw a toga party!

Not that I'm aware of. They won't tell you anything and it is stuck in a "blocked" state, no way to delete, edit or hide it. They are completely unhelpful. They keep sending the same boilerplate that says: During our review process, we found that this content is in violation of our content guidelines. As a result, we cannot offer this book for sale. You can find our content guidelines on the KDP website: https://kdp.amazon.com/help?topicId=A2TOZW0SV7IR1U

Reviving this topic. Amazon just blocked my latest book and I'm contemplating a new home. Has anyone had long-term luck with any other self-publishing system

Now they've blocked the ebook as well. Time to find a new home and revisit the "Amazon Alternatives" thread.

Amazon just blocked my most recent paperback book with their typically cryptic "You violated a rule" boilerplate response. There doesn't appear to be a rhyme or reason to it as the ebook published just fine from the same upload file. Anyone with experience on this matter? How to I get the book unlocked where I can correct it and find out what is wrong with it?

Thanks and glad I could inspire you.

In appreciation of DD and all the folks here, I'm giving away the latest revision of my Halloween themed book, Halloween Again? Free Book Promotion Friday, October 4, 2019, 12:00 AM PDT Sunday, October 6, 2019, 11:59 PM PDT

Hmm, mixed messages here. My problem is no stylebook in the world is going to fix the fact that I think faster than I type and spellcheck doesn't correct a properly spelled word in the wrong place. I'm running Grammarly on all of my previously published stories, stories I've personally proofread at least 4-5 times. It is very embarrassing to see how many times I used "really" and "actually" in my stories. On top of that, it found a hundred missing commas and a half that many commas that I didn't need. In the end, will it make me a better writer (as if I am one now?) Probably not. Will it make my stories less painful and possibly enjoyable to read? It definitely won't hurt.

Exactly! My mind already knows the whole story and fills in the missing pieces that I'm desperately trying to fix. Our mind literally plays tricks on us. I may give the narrator a try if it is available in Open Office. I don't use MS Office.

I don't have a problem with what I want to say but I do have a problem with the way my brain sees it and the way it actually appears on a printed page. I also type "they" for "the" and vice versa a lot. A grammar checker catches that nearly 100% of the time and I certainly know when and were to use both of those properly. Indeed tastes change. The complete and utter misuse of words drives me to distraction. I had a good education but, to put it bluntly, proper English can be pretty boring sometimes. My mind outruns my fingers most of the time and I drop words or mistype "where" for "were" and vice versa a lot more than I care to admit. Grammarly found four such instances in one story that I had proofread no fewer than three times before I published. I find typos in online articles and the odd printer material I read all the time. I chalk it up to quicker production timelines and move on. I would prefer books, especially my books, to be better edited and refined.

Is anyone using a grammar checker? I'm trying out the free version of Grammarly. I use Open Office and the grammar/spell check with it is only so-so but it is free. Grammarly is catching a lot of silly stuff that is not misspelled like I have the tendency of putting "the the" more than a few times! Other than having a proofreader, this is helping. Anyone use anything better?

I just knew his cop buddies were going to razz him about kicking a killer's ass while diapered! LOL

Last day to get a free copy on Amazon. It goes back to regular price at midnight Seattle, WA time.

The books is free now. Enjoy!
