Good luck. Looks like the book is free if you have prime (prime owners lending library)

Btw, is that something you decide, or does amazon decide on your behalf. Do you get paid if somebody borrows the book?

i wrote a glowing 5 star review of how this was the shining example of lesbian erotica and then deleted it. Realized that was an a hole move, good luck!

Heh, no, that is actually my name. Ironically, Flunker means story teller in German, we will see if there is anything to it.

To answer the question about the Amazon Prime free downloading, I do get some money if someone downloads it, not quite the royalty if someone buys it, but close enough.

Currently, Amazon Kindle book authors get 70% royalties if you let them lend it out on Amazon Prime.

To HOWITIS, oddly enough, a 5 star review, even if completely bogus, would help me more than a 3 star legit review. Its odd how it works.

Thanks again to any purchases or downloads. If you really didnt like it, I surely wouldnt mind a PM with what you did or didnt like. I sure would have loved to have had a English prof go over it but, those things cost money, or take far more time than I had.

I know the zombie thing has been overdone and Ive tried to make it as unique as a zombie apocalypse can get. If it wasnt for the fact that Ive had this story in the works for over four years, I would have done something else. In fact, once I have this series done with, as much as I enjoy the genre, Ill never touch it again, at least not in writing.

What I really should be doing is writing books targeted at Young Adult or Teenager . That seems to be the hot market these days.

After a few months of decent sales. I'm well on my way to finishing the next book in line. I'm offering the current one for .99 cents for this week only. Its available on most eBook sites.
