My days of using Draft2Digital are over

 Amazon and Google Play from now on

You read the title of the post correctly.

You may ask, what has turned me against a company I used to expound the virtues of, the answer is disreputable business practices.
Draft2Digital and Smashwords are one and the same. Three years ago, I had four sales on Smashwords, and to this day, I have NOT been paid for the sales; the same is happening now on Draft2Digital, I am waiting for the royalties from sales of my ebooks from over three months ago, and I am sure I will be waiting for a lot longer - if I get them - to see my money.
I am using only Amazon and Google Play from now on; I can hear the argument, but you haven't sold on Amazon for a long time. Well, in that case there is nothing to loose, as my last sale on Draft2Digital was over four years ago, despite their growing empire, so what have I to lose?
I sold only eight ebook on Google in three years, not a lot, but it compares well with the ZERO sales from Draft2Digital in the sale period.

    Thanks for saving me some heartache. I was all set to publish on "Smashwords" as a result of my co-author’s recommendation... found that Smashwords had become D2D, and my research led me here.

      I am pleased to be of use :) In my case, the months have now reached seven without payment.

I am offended again

Image
 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..

Warhammer Limited Edition books for sale

 eBay extension Over the coming month, I hope to start selling some of my Warhammer Limited Edition books on eBay ; I did this some time ago with a little success. Many of the books are also signed, I never covered the cost I paid, my thinking is I may as well get something back as I never read the books, and there maybe someone who will read the book .
