As an independent author, I have been getting rather a lot of emails from random people claiming that they love my book and wanting to promote it at their rather large book club or send it to reviewers… for a rather expensive fee. They apparently think that $198 is a “small coordination fee”.

No, Fiona Carlson of “the Manhattan Book Club”, this is not a small fee in any stretch of the imagination. I also know that you’ve not read my book, because I can see the purchase stats. I bet you’d also fail a test on Murder Planet.

So in the words of Kasia Landau of the Dignitary Protection Group, Stevie Atwell.

If genuine readers want to know what that means, Lava Moon is now available in eBook stores and soon will be in paperback.
