Go on. Ask me. Which part of ‘never do stuff while you’re tired and distracted’ didn’t I follow?

I’ve just accidentally cancelled the pre-order of Unkept Promises on Amazon. I knew straight away that my fingers had just betrayed me, but it was too late. No ‘are you sure’. Just gone. Locked. Can’t get in. And the ominous message in my email inbox:

Dear KDP author,

The pre-order for your book Unkept Promises has been canceled. Customers have been notified that it was canceled because you have decided not to publish your book. Also, you have lost pre-order access for one year.

For more details about Pre-orders, check out this page.

Best Regards,

Kindle Direct Publishing Team

I’ve sent a tearful begging message to Kindle Direct Publishing. Can I recover from this disaster? Meanwhile, the ads are going out, and the book isn’t.

And my preorders! All the people who expect the book in less than 36 hours! And the reviewers who are waiting to jump in. I feel sick. I might just go and crawl into a hole and pull a blanket over my head.

UPDATE: I’ve talked to Amazon, and they can’t reinstate. I’ve just republished. It’s in the queue to be reviewed. I’ll put up new links as soon as I have them. Meanwhile, you can still buy from Kobo, Apple, Nook or Smashwords — links here https://books2read.com/Unkept-Promises

Or at my bookstore, where it is 99c and available now. https://judeknight.selz.com/item/unkept-promises

UPDATED UPDATE: Fixed, and a new Books2Read link made with the new Amazon information.
