  1. My yahoo posts were bouncing, so I missed what the hoopla was about. I am glad to have found this blog thing, 'cause now I know what everyone is talking about!

  2. I've spent the morning tracking down people who are quoting me and discussing this past problem I had with Amazon because it's important you have all the facts.

    First, there is NO policy at Amazon for this. They fully allow authors to post their titles in their signature lines. This was a mistake on the part of some overzealous employees who thought they knew what they were doing.

    This case has been resolved and I'm happy with how Amazon handled it. Amazon has apologized for this error and has reinstated all my reviews, even taking the time to manually add my signature line at the end of each review.

    You can read the full story at The Write Type ~ Multi-Author Musings.
