An Experiment

Posted on April 5, 2025 by Michell

I have an experiment I would like to try. This experiment comes from the lack of support Amazon Canada is providing for my newest book, Super Sonya vs. the Woodpecker.

I had high hopes it would pay off. Imagine my disappointment when I checked the numbers with my distributor. Single digits. How was that possible? The book page looked fine on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. I went to Amazon.ca (which I expected would be my initial best selling spot since I am in Canada). The book was there. It had been there for weeks, available as a preorder. Except, this time, it was only available from a single seller (not Amazon) with a price […]
