Amazon and Walmart are in a price war. They have JDATE down to $14.61 on Amazon:

And $14.50 at Walmart:

Looks like all their books are dropping in price, no idea how long it'll last.

Pretty cool for the consumer. Does this affect what you get paid? Is it a total commission on final sales, or is it a fixed amount? I'm totally ignorant as to how the publishing process goes, being an unpublished nobodyface.

Yeah, I get paid a percentage so my royalties drop when the cover price does. But that's a trivial factor, at this point in my writing career it's more important to be able to say I sold X copies than to say I made X money. Nobody cares about that.

Yeah, but I want to see what kind of a ridiculous eccentric empire of dongs a filthy stinking rich Dave Wong will create.

Back under $15 again, for the moment:

Lasted a few days last time, not sure how long they'll do it now. Don't know what other outlets have followed suit so far.

Barnes and Noble has it back down in price as well, $16.24 for those of us who use Paypal for online purchases.

We still need more reviews there, too, guys. Come on, get your pimpin' hats on and help our favorite author dude sell some more books. I don't think he's got enough money to complete his throne made out of gold-plated skulls just yet.
