"You speak of Eros as if his mischief lies only in your past. His fiery arrows make fools even of old men."
Penelope chuckled. "I can very well enjoy Aphrodite's pleasures without a man."
"So you implied." Kirke leaned against her loom. "But don't you miss the soft caress of a loving hand, the sweet joy of tender lips, the fire in your loins and the racing of your heart that a partner might bring?"

Every evening spent stargazing on the roof she watched Helios sink below the waves of Okeanos in the West and darkness rise in the East as emerged from Erebos, veiling the world in her darkness and bringing Sleep with her to close the eyes of gods and men. She made herself comfortable, a hand snaking below her dress as she imagined Night incarnate watching her from above.

@tannat @bookstodon The problem is more about leaving Kindle Unlimited than going there after publishing wide in my experience.

AimeeMaroux,
@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social avatar

@tannat @bookstodon I think this is the first time I hear about an author locking themselves into the Amazon ecosystem after already being wide. To me, it doesn't make any sense at this point in time when KU payouts are even lower than they already were.
I mean, there are people making good money optimising for Amazon and Amazon only. It's a strategy. But putting all your eggs in one basket is always a risk, no matter how big the basket.

AimeeMaroux,
@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social avatar

@tannat @bookstodon If they're traditionally published it was probably the publisher's idea.
I'm surprised but I guess Amazon has such a huge market share that some people think it's not worth putting energy into playing the other fields. Fingers crossed that they will come back. As I said, KU payment is at a historical low. It's the Spotify of books.

I caved and joined after a kind friend offered me an invite code.

For now, I think the only thing BlueSky has really going for it is that a lot of my friends have accounts there that never made a account, especially artist friends. Which makes sense because discovery features on Mastodon are only now getting better.

Functionality is super limited, there are no lists, no DMs, no hashtags. But my friends inviting their friends means a large part of my OG community is there.
