Them Algoristhm Blues

It seems that algorithms of Amazon are up to their old tricks again -- they've dropped price matching for both Sailing to Redoubt and The Prisoner of Cimlye this time around. They are now listed at $.99 each. You can get Kindle compatible mobi versions of both books on Smashwords.com for free. I was patient the last time they decided to try to sell Sailing to Redoubt for list price, but this time I won't be. I'll give them a week or so, and unless I sell more books than I anticipate, its new list price will be: $8.50.

My policy is to offer new releases with a list price of $.99 for a year, after which I list them at my "my books are as good as traditionally published books" price. It's a game of chicken.

UPDATE: Game on. New ebook list price: $8.50 as of May 12 2020
UPDATE 2 I blinked. As of 8 June 2020 it is back down to $.99
