To fuck over a billionaire, I have to take a few risks. And I hope you'll take them with me. (9/9)

Will it affect the raw volume of my sales? Absolutely. Not everyone can afford to drop that kinda cash on new untested indies, especially right now. (8/?)

So, counterintuitively, I'm going to be raising the prices. You can still get the series for its lower price until May 4th. That's 7 books for a total price of $16.50. Prices will rise from the individual $0.99/$2.99 to $2.99/$5.99.

This will be a 200-800% improvement for me, as the author. (7/?)

I don't want to scrape the bottom of the barrel anymore to satiate Bezos and Zuckerberg. (6/?)

So when I got done seething about that, I came to a decision.

I like writing for you all, but for quality and not volume. I like releasing a book when I'm excited for it, not to hit arbitrary release windows. I want to treat you well to an adventure I want to be on with you. (5/?)

He takes the lion's share of off every sale. 70% of a dollar leaves me with just $0.34. For an entire book, I'd make a little over a quarter. Meanwhile, the executives at META have pirated my books to feed into an AI, while arguing in court that the books have 'no real appreciable value.' (4/?)

Bezos and the Zon takes 70% of every book 1 sale I make. And he's created a race to the bottom for young indies, as we all try to undercut each other in a bid to sell more volume and not higher quality to the limited readers there are. (3/?)

So here's me announcing an egregious business sin: I'm raising the prices on my books, arbitrarily, on all of them. (2/?)

Quickly—hide the DMG. They must not learn of our special rituals!
