After considering some information that was generously shared on the Author's Corner forum, I've decided to reprice Hemlock and the Wizard Tower at $0.99. I originally went with $2.99 because that is the minimum price that Amazon allows the 70% royalty option for. It's not that I'm looking to make a killing on selling e-books here, but something in me just couldn't tolerate the seeming inequity of a mere 35% royalty. Why does Amazon deserve a 65% cut simply for hosting and delivering the electronic document? But, in the end, I would rather reach more readers than try to keep a few extra bucks out of Amazon's greedy pockets.
My recommendation: if you'd like to buy Hemlock and the Wizard Tower, please get it from Smashwords.
I am working on a sequel now, and I encourage anyone who has purchased Hemlock and the Wizard Tower at a higher price to contact me to get on a list for a free copy of the new e-book (to be provided when it comes out, of course--which could be as late as 2012 at the rate I'm going now).
The pricing change has taken immediate effect at Smashwords, but it is still percolating at Amazon.
