MONSTROSITY: Tales of Transformation and Mask of the Nobleman are no longer available on Kindle Unlimited because it will soon be available on all other digital platforms.

Some of you may have heard that during Thanksgiving weekend last year, my publisher’s (NextChapter) kindle publishing account was suddenly closed without notice. Amazon alleged that the publisher had another kdp account (which was against their terms of service) and that that account had been associated with an account that had been closed for content violations.

Confusing right?

After days of appeals, e-mails, and and no real proof of the charges, Amazon reinstated the account.

This is becoming an increasingly common practice at Amazon, wherein its algorithm regularly cancels accounts with no recourse or clear directive on how to appeal decisions. The people it largely affects are smaller creators.

As a result, the publisher, with feedback from their authors, has reevaluated its relationship with Amazon. While we still will have books available for purchase on Kindle, they will also be publishing their catalog on other digital platforms (such as nook). Amazon does not allow books published on other digital platforms to be available on Kindle Unlimited, and that platform will be removed.

On the one hand, I get it sucks for people who use Kindle Unlimited, but I will also say that the pay rate for KU was extraordinarily low and accounted for our lowest payouts. I generally agree with the decision since it allows us to get into other markets.

There will still be promos and other options available, AND this also may allow our books to be available in your public library’s digital collection*!

As always, you can find a full list of places each book is published on my website: Mask of the Nobleman. MONSTROSITY.

• Most public libraries allow library card holders the opportunity to request books to their catalog. Ask your local librarian about how to request books!
