As of January 1st, 2012, Never Saw It Coming will no longer be available from Barnes and Noble.
Several factors have brought me to this decision. First, for some reason, the B&N site will not allow me to upload the new cover or set the price to match the price of the book on amazon. Second, Amazon recently announced it's Kindle Select program for Amazon Prime members, meaning Amazon Prime members will be able to read Kindle Select titles for free, while still paying the authors at the normal rate. The Kindle Select Program, however demands exclusivity Third, sales via B&N have been less than spectacular and the PubIt! format they use just doesn't seem to have the writer support tools that Amazon's Kindle Direct offers.
I did not come to this decision lightly, and hate that I'll have to make my writing unavailable to NOOK readers, but the Kindle app is still available free of charge for most smartphones, tablet pcs, desktop and laptop systems.
In short, if you're a NOOK reader, and haven't picked up Never Saw It Coming yet, you may want to before the end of the year, because I'll be pulling the title on New Year's Day.
Thanks for reading,
---Mike
