Damage done to the Writer

 Lending Libraries


Years ago, I used to chat online to two ladies, one in Liecester, the other in Newcastle, who claimed to have my eBook selection on their Kindle.
All I can say is they must have bought them from a lending library, as I never sold an eBook in the UK according to my sales records on Amazon, and Draft2Digital.
The principle of the these librares is the reader pays for the bokk, the library pays the distributor for the book, but the writer does NOT getpaid untl the book reaches a set number of sales. The issue is a number is not set for the sales, so the writer never sees a dime.
While you could argue I am being read, I would posit this is piracy as I am not being paid for my work.

The bottom line is these lbraries are the main reason I stopped writing.

I am offended again

 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..

 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 .
