DID YOU KNOW… Posted on July 11, 2023 | by C.D. Gorri DID YOU KNOW….buying a book, reading it, and returning it for a refund is actually stealing and here is why.. First, you are buying a product and using, no wait, consuming it, then returning it for no reason other than you didn’t wnat to pay for it. Dude, that is really uncool. And no, it is not a victimless crime. Authors get charged delivery fees by the platforms we use to distribute our books. Sometimes the fee is larger than the royalty and yeah, we have to pay money to get the book to you to begin with. Then, when you return it, guess what? We have to pay for it. Again. I get it. You are on a budget. Believe it or not, so are a lot of authors. There really are only one Stephen King and Nora Roberts and Colleen Hoover. The rest of us are doing our best to run our small business. And a lot of authors (like me) have decided the best way to run our business is to make sure we don’t put all our eggs in the basket (meaning no we are not in KU). But stealing from us is not the answer. When you buy, read, and return, the big platforms just keep getting richer, the reader (you) gets a free read, BUT the author gets screwed. Really, really not cool. And I know you are not a bad person, and you probably did not think this was a big deal… but it is. Not only is heartbreaking to watch your reports show someone systematically going through your entire catalog buying and returning but it is costing the author $$$. I can’t imagine it is good for anyone’s karma either. Soooooooo, instead of doing all that, check this out Wide authors like me might not use exclusivity demanding sub services like KU- BUT we often have ebooks available through public libraries that you can access through sites like Hoopla and Overdrive, Kobo PLUS – which is a subscription service exactly like KU without demanding Exclusivity form the authors, and more and more of us are offering huge DISCOUNTS for series when you BUY DIRECT from the author’s own site. The reason I have removed 99% of my books from KU is simple. KU demands exclusivity and if I did that I would have to say goodbye to libraries and other stores like Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Apple. I want to reach as many readers as I can, so going wide just made sense for me. Here is a list of libraries you can still use for folks who live out of the area: https://www.aworldadventurebybook.com/blog/libraries-with-non-resident-borrowing-privileges Learn more about how to read indie books from your local library here: https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-borrow-and-read-ebooks-from-your-library For those of you in the US without Hoopla at your local library, you can get it (and Libby) thru Stark Library in Ohio as a non-resident for $30 a year. https://starklibrary.org/home/contact-us/register-for-a-library-card *If you want a subscription service, seriously check out Kobo Plus. THANK YOU so much for reading my post! xoxo, C.D. Gorri P.S. Here I am on Hoopla https://www.hoopladigital.com/artist/6832289648 Overdrive https://www.overdrive.com/search?f-contentCreatorNames=C.D.%20Gorri Libby https://libbyapp.com/search/mainlib/search/scope-auto/query-C.D.%20Gorri/page-1 AND you can even find me on Apps like KISS, Dreame, and Radish!

Ready for some more shenanigans? A new FUCN’A book is on its way! Posted on April 7, 2023 | by C.D. Gorri Hey wonderful readers, Did you know Chickee and the Paparazzi will be here in just 4 days? Well, it will! Are you ready for some hilarious FUCN’A fun Jersey Sure Shifter style? Sneak peek: This hen was not about to get plucked by some weasel in nice clothing. “Did you just call security on me? I’m an agent, Ms. Prinz. You know what that means, right? I am on the same side as you!” he stated, seemingly astounded. “All I know is you are following me, like your unscrupulous father did for my entire life, Mr. Marten. Do you people have no shame?” Chickee asked, pushing her short, blonde hair behind her ears. “Ms. Prinz, I am not working for my father’s paper any longer. I just said I’m an agent—” “Photographers from The World According to Marten have been hounding me for years. There is no way I believe you. Besides, coincidence or not, I will not work anywhere you or your family have any influence. Excuse me. Officer?” “Did you call for security, miss?” “Yes, I did. I need to see Ms. Cooper now,” she said, straightening her shoulders. Without looking at Dario, Chickee tossed her scarf over her head and hustled behind the confused-looking security officer. She did not care what the weasel behind her did, follow or not. Chickee was on a mission, and she needed to have a meeting with Director Cooper. Right now. Contract or not, Chickee Prinz was not about to stick around to get screwed by another Marten. And, no, she did not mean in the fun, smexy-times way. Cluck cluck? No, she snapped at her inner horn-bird. This was not the time to get all googly-eyed over some tall, dark, sexy-as-all-get-out-but-completely-unattainable man. Besides, she should never allow her guard down around a Marten! His family was evil. Fine. Maybe not evil. But they were the worst kind of paparazzi scum she had ever encountered. There were dozens of tall, strapping males inside the Marten family group. Those tayra males had disguised themselves as everything from coaches and teachers to nurses, doctors, and even fellow students to get the inside scoop on Chickee when she was a kid. She was so not doing this. Typically, if there was a Marten around, Chickee would flee. But was she really going to give up another dream because of one unscrupulous little weasel? That was the real question. GRAB YOUR COPY HERE. I can’t wait for you to read this! xoxo, C.D.
