Moment after the cover reveal for our anthology, formerly titled Guaranteed Bestseller, we found ourselves with a problem.

This anthology tells stories about the lengths authors go to find someone willing to read their work, such as looking for readers in Hell.

In the real world, if you want someone to read your book, you sell it on Amazon. Yes, it’s a parasitic monopoly. There’s a reason we used Hell as a metaphor. But being a monopoly means they can make arbitrary rules which mere authors must obey.

We were told that using the word “bestseller” in the title was false advertising. Apparently, you can’t say bestseller on amazon any more than you can say dead on tiktok.

My friends, irony is unalive.

If you would like a copy of our anthology (now titled Instant Classic) for the low, low price of free, you can sign up for a review copy here. If you prefer to exchange money for goods and services, you can pre-order the e-book on (sigh) Amazon.
