Bite This

by Michael Anderle

  So, I checked out the definitions of professional. Seems that the closest definition states a professional is someone ‘engaged in a specified activity, especially a sport or branch of the performing arts, as a main paid occupation rather than as a pastime.’

  I certainly spend way more time writing than I should to call it a pastime, however; it isn’t my main source of income right now. So, even if I paid to have a cover done by a professional, that wouldn’t qualify me as a professional.

  I guess it is good my hobby is generating income and I can write off the expenses. (Hear that, IRS?)

  So, at the end of the day I realize this author who was stating their opinion was probably bemoaning the state of indie authors (such as myself) who released their story into Kindle Unlimited before triple checking the editing. I’m certainly guilty of doing this and I apologize to my readers who slogged through the stories before the cleanup efforts. You deserve something amazing. I don’t have amazing yet, but I can try for cool.

  So, let’s try this. I’ll start the price for Never Forsaken - TKG05 at $0.99 for the first 24 hours when it comes out in January. If you sign up for my email list before then, I will make sure to email you at least twice to remind you of the reduced price coming up. I’ll email a couple of days before the release, and when it goes live. (Email list link below).

  Unfortunately, I can’t make it ‘free’ without pulling down my Amazon book ranking.

  *All credit for me having ANY shoe knowledge goes to my wife, who still works to provide me with even a finger’s amount of fashion sense. Why she asks me to comment on her outfits in the morning still confuses me to this day. Second note, the suggestion to include special canines also came from my wife.
