Writing. Music of all genres. Dogs. History. A bit weird at times. Oh yes, I like taking pictures - and not necessarily with my phone. Often use a camera.

Yet another threatening e mail from KDP about my book appearing on Apple.
Said they were going to remove my book in all its format and then send the boys round to castrate me.
Good luck with that. After surviving prostrate cancer there's nowt left to go at.

You could add a nice little Scottish murder mystery to the list if you so desire. Amazon will supply it to you for a mere pittance. Have a great weekend.

Does anyone know how to get rid of a book advertised on Apple Books?
My recently published first book on AmazonKDP has appeared w/o permission or royalties on Apple. Unable to find a way to contact Apple to tell them to get rid of it. Anyone had similar experience? Be grateful for any advice.

Angelic looks are really deceptive.
Little so and so did a runner after our walk this morning. Shot off the car park onto the road. Seems he saw a photographer lady who gives them treats. Little sod.

Reg. Deer Hound Cross. Six years old yesterday. Wondering when his tea will be ready, and then checking if it's time for the daily wander around the lake.

Took this view of Cumbria from Dumfriesshire across the Solway Firth. Seems ages ago when I took it, but it was only last month. How the weather changes in this country.
Today is grim and miserable. Ah well. Soon be the weekend.

Hate to start my new account on here with a gripe, but.
I published this book on Amazon KDP a few weeks ago.
Recently had it pointed out to me that it is on sale on Apple Books. Without my knowledge or permission. Presumably someone is making a few bob by doing this
Has anyone else had this problem?
