Mrs Helen née-Smith Reynolds has a page.

I have to say, it's tempting. Although - once upon a time, your own humble blogger was tempted to move a prior blog to another female-run page. That female, who had not at that time changed her own maiden name, turned out... different; turned out anti#gamergate, turned out antimale. But Smith is the devil we don't know.

Amazon is the devil I do know. Amazon is playing the mafia toward us CreateSpace legacies. As of now, if you self-publish on the Amazon platform, Amazon will bury your book in its listings. If you are published through a "real" publishing house, obviously your publisher will promote your work. But Amazon does not promote Amazon-published work. Why not?

Because Amazon also "offers" an advertising service. Conflict-of-interest much?

Amazon bets that it can make more money from taking your money than from getting a cut from your customers.
