Sooo, the exact score is this. Even though I am no longer selling on Kindle, and I am making no money on this, nor are they, I am being told that I have to stick to the KDP Select Contract I signed, and am NOT allowed to distribute the book (even here) in the digital format until the middle of March. To be clear, yes, they are 100% in their legal rights to do this, since I did sign the contract, and I am fortunate this exclusivity only lasts for a few more months.

However, I believe that there was no reason they SHOULDN’T let me out of the contract. No one wins here, and I am a humble independent publisher who makes about minimum wage, and Amazon is… well, they’re fucking Amazon, so I’m not sure why they care so much. In an age where word of mouth holds more power than we realize, I’m not sure why they’d go out of there way to not make customer relations something worth bragging about. I learned an important lesson, which is if you want something done right…

So, is there more FG coming? Well… yes, actually. Expect a mini to be released for the MOCCA 2012 comic festival in NYC. It will be bundled with an Unlife mini, which is the more prominent project in my comic life currently. Hopefully, I will one day get to tell the next book in the FG series, and that day will be soon. Unfortunately, that day isn’t today.

Still… doesn’t mean I can’t write it now…

I’ll see you in March. Keep reading Unlife and stay awesome.
