I'm trying a new marketing approach with my Season Avatars series. For a long time, the prequel Seasons' Beginnings has been perma-free, and the rest of the books have been priced at $2.99. I'm going to reduce the price of Scattered Seasons to free, at least temporarily. Since Scattered Seasons is more closely linked to the rest of the books than the prequel, I hope that by getting more people to read it, they'll continue with the rest of the series. While it's a straightforward process to set a book price to free on Draft2Digital, Amazon has yet to price-match. I reported the lower price twice already, but I'd appreciate it if more people could help out. If you haven't reported a lower price to Amazon before, here are the steps:1. Go to the Scattered Seasons page on Amazon.
2. Scroll down past the Product Details until you see "Would you like to tell us about a lower price?"
3. Click the hyperlink and select "Website."
4. Paste in the address of the Scattered Seasons page on another store. It can be Barnes & Noble, Kobo, or Apple.
5. Enter 0.00 for price and shipping. You don't have to change the date.
6. Click the "Submit feedback" button and close the pop-up window.
Thanks for your help, and please feel free to download a copy if you don't have it already.

Amazon fights to the bitter end before giving something away for free, don't they?
If they haven't done it in a week or so you can send them an email. Whether they'll do it then is still iffy with their wonky customer support staff.
Ironically, Alex, Amazon hasn't picked up yet on the new price for Seasons' Beginnings, which I raised to $0.99.
Thanks, Pat!
Getting Amazon to give away something for free is harder than pulling teeth.
