"Beats Expectations [...] Needless to say, I will be reading any further works by this new voice (for me) - and looking into other independent authors."
Don't get me wrong, I love getting a great #review. But one that says it encouraged them to read more #IndieAuthors ? Priceless!

@BrambleBearGrrrauwling @bookstodon Sure! Here you go:
https://www.amazon.com/Herald-Petrel-Strange-Seawolf/dp/B0D8KNWQ3T/
Hope you enjoy!
(There is also a hardcover version but it was mainly for me because I wanted the artworks inside as colored prints. That drives the cost into these heights. Of that HC cost author gets, lo and behold, 2 bucks BEFORE taxes 😬)

I apologize for not writing clearly. I don't want to buy from amazon. I hate that company for what it has done to economy as well as books. For what the founder has done generally. I usually only type it incorrectly on purpose as expression of dislike and disdain.
I understand that some authors believe it necessary for reach.
I would love to read it on paper but will not go through that site.
Do they publish it or who?

@BrambleBearGrrrauwling @bookstodon Ah, got you. I totally understand where you are coming from. It is the reason I went wide for the ebook, which is available on all stores. For printing, unfortunately, amazon was the only feasible choice. I am looking into other options as well and if I find one, I have bookmarked your toot now and will let you know.
The sad things is that indeed, the sales I make on amazon are unmatched by other platforms so far. As a queer person, this sucks big time. As an Indie author who hopes at one point getting enough sales to cover the cost of the cover and editor, I don't think I can ever NOT offer it on amazon.

I understand.
One of many goals for a just, #solarpunk convivial joyous future is sustainable publishing cooperatives where authors, book lovers, appropriate scale sustainable techies and farmers of book making materials work together to publish paper books for any who want them. Everyone has needs met, including cultural satisfaction and entertainment.
Surely somewhere there is a way to print ebooks at a reasonable cost, sustainably.
