I found an interesting email from Wildside press in my box today. I have exerpted some parts below:
Quote:
A DIFFICULT MONTH — AND IT'S ONLY HALF OVER!
September has been Wildside's worst months in many years. We had all of our books and ebooks removed from Google Play (apparently they have new rules, and one of them is that a publisher must have less than 20% public domain titles to qualify). We have about 10,000 public domain books (which pay the bills) and 4,000 non-public domain books (which often don't make much money). This resulted in all of our titles being removed from the Google Play bookstore, which is going to cost us at least sixteen thousand dollars a year. Thanks, Google. You're a pal

Sounds like they are having some problems with Google. They also explained why there was no freebee last week.

Freebies
Just a reminder that we have a free ebook for download most Tuesdays on our web site, www.wildsidepress.com — and if we don't have one, it's because we were busy with other things (like trying to get our app up on the Google Play Store last week). Freebies will also be available through our app (and will move to only being available through the app by the end of the year)
