This morning I checked the book categories of The Rubber Fence on Amazon and discovered that Amazon had given my novel a surprise discount. It was listed as $14.95 but was now on sale for $6.91. Confused, I phoned to enquire why. The agent told me that Amazon selects certain books to promote. So, the customer gets a bargain ( if they buy :). And I get the same royalty as if it’s been sold at full price. Who knew!
Also, who knows how long this discount will last. It’s not available on the Amazon’s other sites, so sorry about that.
But if you haven’t had a chance to read this psychological fiction, have a look. The story follows three women: a psychiatric intern in a troubled marriage, a mute young mother accused of trying to kill her baby, and an old woman ( a mentally ill patient) who’s been shocked many times.
There are also a number of fascinating men, including a gay intern. It’s an inside look at a psychiatric ward, and the relationships of those who end up there as workers or patients. I was told by one psychiatrist that not much has changed.
I will write soon about other new developments. To keep abreast of the news, sign up for my Book News.
Thanks for any thoughts on the above.
