You should be fine if you've already got one there. I missed my chance ... been on D2D for a few years but never published on Amazon due to the fact I hate them 🚫 However a customer asked for a book on Kindle and the customer is always right.

If you keep a “Places I’ve been and things I’ve seen” diary here’s a unique phenomenon you can visit:
Blood Falls, Antarctica: A real-life sci-fi marvel where ancient iron-rich water—trapped beneath ice for 1.5 million years—erupts.

Jack's always a hero 😍 I even root for him when watching The Shining 😂 - sorry, Shelley.

you got in just in time. I tried to go through D2D after the Amazon fiasco and was actually working with them to get onto the platform, then they cut me off, just saying they are no longer distributing to Amazon. Weird.
Yeah, patience is the key, for everything it seems! 😅

They refused my Quebec ID because their computer says it isn't Canadian. Human support personnel bow to the authority of the bot.
Oh well, needed a new Canadian passport anyway. 🍁
I'm sure you'll get sales. Looks like an awesome book to me!

Hey, in print. That's great. You've got to hold it in your hands and get a feel for it. That's the connection you really want.

Yes, you're right. Print books are gaining popularity again. Just rereading these babies first ... D2D print doesn't allow changes for 3 months. They'll probably do okay on Amazon if and when I can ever get on there 😆

Mother Nature’s version of rock stacking.

No sheep were available for scale, but they could easily meander beneath that boulder!

Black and white photo of a towering rock formation at Brimham Rocks, showing stacked sandstone layers perched improbably on a narrow point above rocky ground.

A giant balancing boulder at Brimham Rocks rises among dense vegetation, its smooth layers and rounded shape set against a cloudy sky.
