For the second time, I have no review for my blog this week because I was dumb enough not to double-check before I started reading, and a book that was once on Smashwords is no longer there. The first book was by Lynda Hillburn and the second by Nick Spalding.

I get that authors sometimes might have reasons for experimenting with their marketing plans or whatever, but I wonder if too much experimenting might be a bad thing and prevent the author from developing an on-line presence. I am going to be checking from now on, and any book in my TBR pile that is no longer available will be removed from my queue. I can't read a promote a book that is no longer available, and I have enough to read without them.

I wonder why these authors removed their books. What do you think?
