Like Doctor Leonard Hofstadter, I Cannot Catch a Break

The third-party I used for links for readers to be able to access their respective Amazon stores for one of my books shut down at the end of January. No warning whatsoever. *sigh*

I didn't discover the  problem until I started to update the links on my websites on Friday.

Amazon has now realized we need one link for their multiple stores. Especially since the company insists on making indie books available in all the stores. Duh!

So it's going to cut into my writing time this week to figure out and set up the new links. A bad week since I also planned to finish up the taxes.

I hadn't touched any of the ice cream, leftover from before Christmas, in our freezer until this weekend when I discovered the link issue. Unfortunately, GK didn't eat off of it while he was on leave. Maybe I need to switch to something healthier. Like oatmeal.

Lots and lots of oatmeal.

So much better than rabbits and mice.

HELP! (And a reward for the correct answer!)

A few weeks ago, I came across a blog that one of my daily dose people (i.e. Passive Guy, Joe Konrath, DWS, etc.) linked to, either directly or indirectly. The lady writer had the HTML on her blog post for a universal link to all Amazon stores for her buy links in the back of her books.

The book link would go to the appropriate store based on the reader's locale, i.e. if the reader was in England, the link would go to that book page on www.amazon.co.uk.

This was terrific! I didn't have to list every single Amazon store! I saved that URL, or I could have sworn I did. But between the move to Ohio and two computer crashes, I cannot find the bookmark for that blog!

It is NOT the Wordpress Affiliate Link Localizer plug-in, Easyazon, Viewbook.at OR Booklinker.net.

As I said, I'm looking for the blog of a female indie writer who posted the HTML for a universal Amazon link.

REWARD: Be he first person to post the link to the correct writer's blog post in my comments section, and I'll send you a $20 Amazon giftcard!
