My sales on Amazon for both the Synne City and Grimme City books plummeted this month. It was concerning, but summer sales usually dropped off. Only I just discovered that Amazon dropped my average ranking around 200k to about 1,200,000. Yeah, they manually forced my books into the sales dungeon. Made them all harder to find and buy. Probably because of content.

Nothing I can do about it. It's not the first time they have done this to a writer. It is there site and they can do anything they want. But it sucks for me.

They just make it ten times harder for me to earn a living. Those books were the backbone of my royalties.

Life ain't easy for a non-con erotica writer on the street.

That really sucks. Sorry to hear that.

Crazy. Is there a 3rd option? Smashwords has been my goto, but that might be in trouble too, right? I think the writers in this sub genre need to move together to a 3rd place or create their own.

I'm going to publish Ms Justice: Shadows of Justice tomorrow. That'll be the big test. If Amazon and Smashwords have suppressed my books so much it doesn't sell, then this Patreon might be the only place to find my work. Though, I might have to start a different Patreon for the Synne City books to be able to put them out at a reasonable rate. IDK. I am still trying to process this and figure out my path forward.

I googled one of my Ms Amazing books. I used to just type in something like "Ms Amazing: Antidote" and it would come up. Today, I had to type in "Ms Amazing: Antidote Synne City Super Heroines in Peril" before it came up in results. So that means they have suppressed it a lot more than usual. They have made the books harder to search and find.

Oh man I'm sorry

I understand there is an issue with credit card companies and so forth. I would now be worried about this site maybe. A lot of creators have a subscribestar account as well as a sort of backup. I knew a Zon crackdown was probably going to happen at some point. Thats why I always went via Smashwords. But there is an alternative to smashwords too. I will DM you a link, or email if you worry Patreon reads DMs.
