Me and Amazon

Recently, amazon.com temporarily ran out of stock of my novel, Into the Desperate Country. I noticed that the "temporary" status was becoming pretty permanent. I emailed them and brought it to their attention. They sent me an email back stating . . .

"I apologize for any inconvenience this causes, but at this time "Into the Desperate Country (Paperback)" and "short story collections" by Jeff Vande Zande's are unavailable (Temporarily out of stock) with us and we're not sure if we'll be able to obtain them in the future."

Well, I knew that copies were available, so I took to emailing them everyday, requesting that they at least restock the novel -- which has 11 reviews and does sell from time to time.

Yes, I emailed everyday. And, today I noticed that they have one (1) uno copy of the novel.

So, I'm asking someone to go there and buy it. Make amazon feel the urgency for my book. Do what you want with it when it arrives. Read it. Give it away as a gift. Burn it. (okay, well I guess I shouldn't suggest burning books -- even my own)

In any case, I want amazon to know that they made the right decision in restocking my book. So, please go buy the thing.

Thanks.
