Barnes & Noble, I’m on my way
I just sent an ‘opt-out’ to Smashwords to de-list my stories on Barnes & Noble. This is in order to avoid double-listing when I publish them on BN myself directly. As soon as any of my 8 stories disappear from BN, I’ll activate the direct-published version. I hope to make BN and Smashwords the main…

Et tu, author backlinks on Amazon?
This is about Amazon.com author pages. Mine is located at http://www.amazon.com/Ken-Haramiru/e/B009UWJG9U/ and has been there for a while. It doesn’t surprise me much that Amazon has flagged my author page as adult, and I no longer show up on search if you enter my name. I used to, before they did that recent round of “let’s hide…

It seems that Amazon has decided that it doesn’t want to admit it hosts erotica anymore. So, they’ve ensured now…

About halfway done with Progenitor 2’s extended edition
Ken Haramiru’s “Progenitor 2” eBook halfway to release! I’m pleased to announce that I’m about halfway done with the “Director’s Cut” of Progenitor 2. It features a lot of content which isn’t in the free version (a kinky scene with a female cop and handcuffs, a girl he meets at the hotel, and others) and…

Nothing new for a bit
Unfortunately, I haven’t been doing much lately. Having to switch laptops (from a very writing-conducive Mac) to a number of less-powerful PC laptops running Linux has left me searching for a workflow that works for me. Which is not to say that I was using the Mac as a Mac. No, I was using it…
