I forgot to check-in last week, mostly because I was in a flurry with “Kataomoi.”‘s release. But that doesn’t mean OTHER interesting things didn’t happen. Ugh, no. Do you know what a writer with two completely SEPARATE pen names fears most? Crossing the streams. Last week I was doing my weekly upload with my erotica pen name and…when it published, it published under my REAL NAME. God, talk about a nightmare! And then when I requested it to be changed (thinking it must’ve been my error) it STILL REPUBLISHED under my real name! *headdesk* Finally, after 24 hours of fretting and pulling it down, it finally went back up under my pen name. My beautiful, carefully selected pen name.<\/p>\n
Ugh.<\/p>\n
Then there was the freebie promo that didn’t start until six hours after it was supposed to start.<\/p>\n
Then there was the cover snafu with Kataomoi that couldn’t get fixed fast enough.<\/p>\n
Basically, not a good week for me and KDP.<\/p>\n
