Greetings!
I have a quick update for you on Dragon Guard and Dragon Dreams. I need to unpublish them for the month of June on Smashwords and the affiliated premium sites until they are through their run on Amazon's KDP Select. I recently received a note from Amazon saying that I had violated terms with Dragon Guard since it is not Amazon exclusive, and it will be taken off KDP status if I did not fix this. Not a big deal so far, as I don't want it on KDP anymore. But then they said continued "abuse" of the system could end in my participation in the program being terminated, including as a reader. Since Dragon Dreams is also violating the system, technically, I decided to not play with fire, even if nothing might happen. So, what this means is that I took both books down from Smashwords, and therefore the premium sites. I'll have them both back up in July when they've run their course.
I don't know if Dragon Guard will remain perma-free on Amazon, but if it doesn't, I'll take action to get it back to that status in July. It will come back as perma-free at Smashwords and the premium sites when I republish it. Dragon Dreams will remain 99 cents in all places.
So, if you were planning on downloading either book at Smashwords or an affiliated site in June, I apologize. You can still get them at Amazon, and they'll both be back in June. (Heck, if they do take Dragon Guard off KDP Status, that one might come back sooner - I'll deal with it when I better know.) So that's it for now. I will, of course, let everyone know when things have leveled out in July. Until then, enjoy yourselves!
