If you’re an author of any variety, you probably have been on eBay buying something you don’t need, and then it occurs to you, “Maybe one of my books is on here.”

And, much like Googling yourself, you eBay yourself. And when you get results like this, you WARN people. So, here goes:

PEOPLE! Do not buy my novella, Twelfth Krampus Night, for $75! It’s not even signed, which would probably decrease the value.

I’m not telling you to not buy it because I don’t get a cut (and I don’t). I’m telling you because it’s highway robbery. The book’s available on Amazon for $9.99 for the paperback and $2.99 for the ebook.

Now, if roughly one million of you would buy the paperback right this very moment, I’d greatly appreciate it. All right, I get it, that’s an unreasonable ask. How about 900,000 of you? That’s fair.

But what isn’t is charging gullible readers $75 for a book of mine that’s not worth that much!
