That's awesome, Miss Julie! Which blogs specifically? And do you have links?

Do you know if it's just a visibility issue? Like if I buy a book price at 4 dollars will it charge me 00.99 or is the discount just completely not available for readers shopping via amazon.com but based abroad?

Now that I'm not totally sure of. Just gimme a few minutes and I'll go buy some regular-priced shizz to see what it charges me. Gathering some links like a squirrel first haha!

***mwahhh***

@Miss Alexis: Do you normally purchase from .COM directly?

Annie wrote: "@Miss Alexis: Do you normally purchase from .COM directly?"

Yess, only COM, all the time, forever lol.

Did anyone post in the SIA showcase? The post your free and discounted romance books thread? If not I will do it now!

Yeah, I'm UK, and thought everyone was reducing on both .com and .uk but this didn't happen for all.
I got about half of the books at a reduced/free rate on the UK site though. I'm happy.
Just sorry to those on US that I can't buy from :(

I'm sure I didn't have this problem last time. :-/

Oh well, keep it up gang, it's going well xx

Alexis wrote: "Yess, only COM, all the time, forever lol."

Me too.

You know what's strange? I've had this issue before for select books but never for all of em. Gonna ask the Amazon dudes about this too.

lol I need to ask a mod if I can first because the instructions are pretty much talking about single promos but I put it on my thread!

I changed my price via my dashboard, which should have changed it on ALL amazons. They are still full price on .uk. which is a bit embaressing since I posted a few 'support a fellow brit' messages to uk specific groups. Hey ho, the mighty ZON is a law unto its self.

That stinks! Mine must be showing up full price in other markets :(

That's OK. Mine is free on both, and I'm a Brit. They can support me ;P

Honestly; it's not ALL of them royal family.
Me (in the UK) got some of the books at the reduced rate.

Hey ladies I've got it posted on my blog finally. Sorry I had technical difficulty, imagine that. Good Luck to everyone!!

hoorah! Awesome stuff Mistress <3

My author rank is just under 33,000. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it is an all time high for me. My first book is barely a month old, so I'm crazy excited. Thank you wonderful ladies for putting on this event!

@Miss Wendy: Congrats! And, actually, 33,000 is legit!!

Okay, superstars! I'm about to be a strict mistress and authors who've been MIA or aren't helping out? Gonna start pulling their books down. If they show up, I'll add them back in no problemo ^_~

Mistress D-bag,
Ann

I used somebody's banner. It was way sexy. I forgot whose it was--but you are a sexy-maker-star. Seriously.

I just did a bunch of RT's. Hope everyone is seeing some good sales going on! @Mistress, those are amazing numbers
@W.S. 33k is no joke lady! Nicely done!!

I'm going to be offline for a bit. sledding party with my girls *shrugs sheepishly* I'll be back later for more fun!

FYI, I'll be MIA on a few things for a bit. Two soccer matches and a basketball game with two sons. I'll do what I can with my phone...most of phone's accounts are under my real name. Cass is a pen name. If you see Courtney Worley stuff, it's the same person. :)
