This infuriates me.

They're embedding an AI in Kindles that is empowered to analyze our books without our permission and tell the reader about them....likely inaccurately.

We have no recourse.

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

I'm not very good with bookish gift ideas. 😆 Other than a shirt with a bookish quote, I personally would love if someone put together a little food sampler that contains items eaten in a book or series.

Between Santa and Krampus, I would choose Santa. Though I feel Santa has been a little overdone in some media, I'm really turned off by anything Krampus.

No seasons are mentioned in the Dark Reflections Short Story Collection, but I see Dark Betrayal taking place in late summer. As for Lost Souls, it takes place during the fall semester (late summer through autumn).

So, my sales have dropped to zero, this month. I'm not surprised. Particularly about Zon given I stopped all their ads. I can't afford them anymore. I will need to learn how to make my blog and social media posts more effective.
