Comment from Shirley McLain
Well, my friend, I understand about Amazon and the books. I have been trying for months (no exaggeration) to get some of my ebooks published. I finally said, "to He-- with it," and stopped trying. I will keep a look out for that yellow cover. Have a great evening. Shirley

Thank you Shirley. Oh, it can be a hair-puller. And thank you for keeping your eye open for the Yellow book cover. Spread the word!

Comment from CrystieCookie999
You are definitely a brave soul. I have yet to try anything with self-publishing other than making fewer than two dozen copies twenty years ago at Kinko's/FedEx. So this was an extremely informative re-telling of your ups and downs, smiles and frowns with your more recent efforts. Thank you for taking the time to explain things so that we less-experienced writers can study things out as well. Hilarious ending paragraph, by the way.

Awwwww, thank you, Crystie. I really should have explained that there are others who can only shake their heads at my inability to get my paperbacks published there. I am a putz when it comes to techy stuff. So, anyway, remember the yellow book cover!
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I'm happy for you in that you were able to muddle through
all the obstacles of publishing on Amazon. I wish you much
success with all of your publishing endeavors. I could never
figure out or even understand all of the tech things involved,
so I won't go the Amazon route.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes to come for the future of your
books, Jan

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Well, Jay, good luck with Amazon! I have had my problems with them for a long time! This may not come as a surprise but to those who don't know any better, I call the self-publishing world of Amazon as the Amazon graveyard!
This is the beginning of the end!

I do agree with you on that, Jesse, but there is one person here who makes a small but regular income from the sale of her books without any promoting or having a website. Anyway, be on the lookout for the Yellow Book Cover, LOL.

She must be the exception rather than the rule. Most self-published books go nowhere.
I will look out for your Yellow Book cover!
