« Last post by Post-Crisis D on April 12, 2025, 04:56:33 AM »I guess if you don't hear from me again after Monday, it's because of this eMail I just received:
Also, I'm apparently a woman now. So, maybe if I wear a fake beard for the next couple days, he'll never find me.
Quote
I know you don't know me, but believe me, your life is in grave danger. I'm writing this at considerable personal risk. Professionally, I shouldn't be doing this at all. You see, a contract has been put out on your life. I've been paid to kill you.
I'm contacting you because, from what I've observed, you seem like a decent, unsuspecting woman. Someone close to you ? someone you likely trust ? is behind this. They've paid for your murder. If you think this is some kind of sick joke, I urge you to reconsider. Keep looking over your shoulder.
You have 72 hours. Seventy-two hours to say goodbye to everything you know. Seventy-two hours left to live.
I have critical information about the plan to end your life. Information that could save you. If you dismiss this as a prank, if you decide to be stubborn and ignore me, then you'll see what happens when the clock runs out.
If you value your life, do not ? I repeat, DO NOT ? involve the police. Doing so will only make things far, far worse. Trust me on this. It will escalate the situation and ensure your demise.
Consider this your only warning. The choice is yours.
Nicholas.

This is for all subgenres of sci-fi except erotica. No nekkid man chests for this one. All mailing list sizes are fine, but only authors who send 100+ clicks per promo may have more than THREE ebooks.

« Last post by alhawke on April 10, 2025, 05:43:16 AM »Are you a member Lynn? I think membership used to give 5 revisions per month. It'd be worth it to me to rejoin ALLI if that's the case. I have to update 26 books on Ingram and membership is $100 vs $600 in Ingram revisions ($25 per book). (I discontinued membership last year only because of cost and because Ingram changed their publishing model to allow free publishing. The membership is a good service otherwise).
Anyone who is a member, can you let me know if the 5 revision per month rule for Ingram is still available? If it's one book per month, it's not worth it to me.

« Last post by Lynn on April 10, 2025, 02:57:51 AM »April 2025 offer is a code valid for one free revision (interior or cover).
FREE REVISION OFFER
1. We offer free revisions for new title submissions for the first 60 days the book is in production (no code is needed). After a book has been in production for 60+ days, members should use the code to waive one revision fee.
2. Code is valid for one FREE revision (interior or cover).
I can't really tell if that's for just one book or one per book but probably one book?

If not, can someone do one? I can't say I've ever looked at them. Or heard anything much about them. Although I may have just forgotten.
