I’m with Kate. I’ll have the amazon links removed from my author website by tonight. Since every book I write is a M/M erotic romance–with six different publishers both print and kindle ebooks–all of my titles were ‘delisted’. One title went from #5 on the best-selling list to GONE in one second of time. My links will showcase B&N from now on.

All of my books, many of which have polyamorous or bi-relationships–were delisted, but so were my sweet little vanilla romances that could have easily come under the Harlequin imprint. However, my response has been to “delist” Amazon. There are no longer any links to Amazon. com from my website, and since I’ve got close to thirty books still out there selling–most of them still selling quite well–I figure it’s a response that works for me. When my readers ask where they can buy my books, I sent them to B&N or Borders or Powell’s.

Actually, it wasn’t just GLBT books, it was anything with “erotic” in tags or descriptions. My erotic romance, “Sunfire” was delisted along with all the others, and it is an erotic male/female romance. Published by Ellora’s Cave, and it seemed that most EC books were delisted pretty fast that day.
