Sad Indie Quotes

Some people are just sad when there aren't talking squirrels.” —Lily Winter

Only sad sacks and conformists need things like no kiss on New Year's Eve to remind them to feel lonely. They're as bad as the people who need St. Patty's Day as an excuse to get drunk or Halloween to wear slutty outfits. You can feel sorry for yourself and dress like a hooker all year round: Hallmark never needs to know.

I'm sorry...I just don't know what's wrong with me..

That, I suddenly understood, was the sad part: once all this had mattered so much more.

My sorrow forges into something else. My slab of dark sadness begins to heat, cracking its way through whatever hold I had on it. Like coal forming into a diamond, what comes next is crystalline, hardened, and pure. Rage.

Indy beware. Suddenly my books ceased to sell on Amazon and Smashwords. Checking the internet I found that they were also being sold by readabookpage,com and euro-books.net neither of which I have authorised . Worse still they claim to have had 290 four star reviews for them which would equipage to a majority of 5 X stars. Moreover, probably only 1 in 20 people , maybe more, ever write a review. So, by my sums, they have probably shifted over 5.800 books and me c.$7,000 out of pocket. Nice to know they are selling so well, sad I don't get the benefits. Unless Amazon, Smashwords, Apple Books, B and N etc.. get together to get pirate sites closed down , then there is very little future in indy books
