Amazon and publishing

So much being written about companies not stocking books that are on/published by Amazon. What's an author to do? It feels like old boy's clubs are being erected - if we deign to publish you, or you're published by people we like, we'll give you entrance... I can understand the fury that Amazon is taking away everything, but really, it is up to people to choose, not the publishers, especially when there are so many books they refuse to publish, good books.
As a reader, I want choice, not the same old same old publishers keep publishing. As a writer, I want to be published. And I'll go, unfortunately perhaps, but I'll go with who will publish me, retain my rights, and hopefully, be read.

Erosion on Amazon

A new formatted version went up today..this is it!
Working on a final edit of Leaving Coty for that to go up too.

Erosion on Kindle

Uploaded Erosion (novel) a few minutes ago onto Amazon Kindle. Excited and nervous as the formatting seems intangible until it actually appears. Will it have worked successfully, will it look as I hope it will? I don't have a kindle so haven't a clue how it will look.
And pricing it!! Not like pricing a book. A hard copy of all my work.I looked at a few on line, thought, well, mine's not a best seller...so went for mid-range. Strange, £2.70...the price of a book? How on earth does anyone make a living? Write lots of books and get film rights. And a proper job.

So. Erosion, you've heard me speak about it before, but here is the synopsis as it will appear:

During her first storm swept night in a run-down chalet park on the North Yorkshire coast, a terrified Lizzie Juniper witnesses a building's rumbling collapse into the sea. Unable to save its inhabitants, she watches in horror as an old couple and their teetering home crash into the pounding waves hundreds of feet below.

The next day, the few remaining residents are given seven days to vacate their chalets yet it seems strange they are in no rush to leave...

Lizzie soon finds out there are worse things than an eroding coastline and that everyone has a choice about their future and when you have nothing left to lose, that choice can be surprisingly liberating.

November 5th approaches with a run of unusually warm days. A firework display is poised to ignite, a smuggler's tunnel is reopened and Lizzie discovers no-one is as they at first seem.

Erosion is about more than a subsiding cliff face; it is about the disappearance of a way of life and the discovery that people living on the edge can make extraordinary choices.

Phew. Breathe.
