About AGordon

My name is Alexander Gordon, an author who loves to write for the joy of it. I started my wonderful and, as expected, tiring journey through the world of writing by doing fanfiction first about an anime that I wanted to explore more in the world of. Yes, you could only imagine the amount of accolades I received doing that to begin with, and after continuing that for years with a smile on my face and a growing sense of joy for the craft I jumped over into publishing my own novels. And I've been doing this nearly everyday since then, something that has become a real passion of mine that can't be beat by anything. To this day I am still writing and plan on doing so for a very long time, I have many stories I wish to tell after all.

New Storefront Links Up

I wanted to let everyone know that I am aware that not all the new ebook storefronts are showing up under the Books2Read page link posted under all my books. They were supposed to be automatically added in, but some don’t appear to be showing up still. To fix this I’m adding them to my websites directly. I’ve included store links for Barnes & Noble and Smashwords under all books that have their store pages up. I will continue to monitor and add more if they are not included in the Books2Read page as they should be. And yes, I am also looking into options for adding paperback books again for those who like to physically hold the books. More details on that to come. Until then, happy reading!

Merry Christmas!

From the world of Eden and myself, wishing everyone out there a merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday weekend!

Update For My Book Storefronts

For everyone wondering what’s been going on over at Amazon and the book storepages going missing as they have, I’m afraid I have some bad news. Recently I received a notice from Amazon that my Kindle storepage had been taken down, citing only a vague reason for my account “attempting to manipulate their services”. Responding to the notice to dispute it was only met with automated messages from their system, ignoring everything I wrote and saying the decision was final. Of the rare times I was able to contact a human being at Amazon to talk about the account being wrongfully closed, I was redirected to their automated system, which again replied with a basic “tough luck, we made our choice.” Multiple attempts to appeal the wrongful termination of my account were met with deaf ears from their automated replies.

So there you have it. I have no idea why my account was flagged for suspicious behavior, I have no ability to dispute their claim as they will not listen to anyone, and based on what I’ve heard from horror stories of other authors suffering the same problem like this out of the blue in the past, there is no recourse as Amazon simply doesn’t care if their system wrongfully terminated someone’s account. And no, I’m not calling for a “Boycott Amazon, boo on Amazon!” campaign here. As upset as I am about these events, I’m not blind to the fact that there is simply nothing I can do about it. Nothing will change Amazon’s mind, nothing will make them see the error that was made, and as much as I don’t care for them now, it’s not like I’m going to stop ordering from Amazon’s website in the future myself because, let’s face it, they have a monopoly on online service and product sales and there really is no getting around that.

I will, however, be taking down my audiobook version of Chronicles of Eden – Act I from their ACX service, as I don’t see a reason to continue selling my books of any kind on their platform after this abuse. I suspect they will not notice nor care about that either.

And that brings us up to now. Over a decade of selling on Amazon with my books has just been wiped out, just like that, all because of what was likely a simple error on their part that they couldn’t be bothered with fixing. Still, this does show that it isn’t practical or safe to “carry all your eggs in one basket”, so to speak. While Amazon will no longer be a storefront for my books, there are other options that I’ve begun reinstating, and I will not be going with any platforms that require they be the sole distributor of my books again.

With that, I have updated all the store links on my AGordongPublishing.com and ChroniclesofEden.com websites to direct to the now open storefronts for my books. Some are still in the process of coming online, and I have to find a few more homes for the digital collections that are currently only available on Google Play Books. I know there are people that only prefer to use Amazon for their ebooks, and to that all I can say is, sorry but I would not expect Amazon to reverse their decision out of the goodness of their hearts at this point, so do not expect to see my books coming back there again. And to everyone who posted reviews for my books in the past, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to screenshot them before the pages were taken down. I did love reading what people wrote about my stories, and I hope to see new ones appear as I continue to write my books and publish them for as long as I can.

For now, below is a list of the ebook distributors that will host my books moving forward:

  • Google Play Books
  • Barnes&Noble
  • Rakuten Kobo
  • Apple Books
  • Everand
  • Tolino
  • OverDrive
  • CloudLibrary
  • Baker&Taylor
  • Hoopla
  • Odilo
  • Vivlio
  • BorrowBox
  • Smashwords
  • Palace Marketplace
  • Gardners
  • Fable

Quick December Update

Just wanted to update my readers that at the moment there is a problem displaying the Amazon storefront for the books. I’ve already reached out to Amazon regarding this and hope to have it fixed soon. Sorry for any inconvenience to those who were looking to get any of the books. Will keep everyone updated on this as well as what’s coming up next with the series soon.

Author’s Update

Hello everyone! It’s been long enough without any updates, so I wanted to break the silence and talk about everything that’s going on and what’s coming up.

First off, I hope everyone is enjoying the latest Eden book. And yes, as many might have noticed, it is the biggest entry in the series to date. In fact, it was so big, that when trying to upload the hardcover manuscript to Amazon, I actually hit the page limit and couldn’t do it until I made the font one size smaller to decrease the page count just enough. So yes, it is in fact the biggest Eden book out there, which brings up something I wanted to let readers know. I am going to try to keep future books from becoming so overwhelmingly large like this again. I want to keep the size more manageable and release the books more often rather than letting them build up to these huge volumes that aren’t released as frequently. I was tempted to split this book into two volumes and balance them out, however I really wanted to finish the current story arcs that were going on and didn’t want to keep them going into another volume. The characters need to move along to keep the story going, so I decided to end the current story arcs in this latest book, which meant some pretty big chapters to tell everything. So for those of you who like really big books, I hope you enjoy this one all the more. To those that prefer smaller entries, know that I’m going to work to keep the page count down in future books compared to this behemoth.

Next, something that readers may have noticed is that all my books are back to being Amazon exclusives, which means they are once again available for KindleUnlimited subscribers. The choice to remove them from the other markets was made due to a few factors. One, I hate having to exclude or censor illustrations like I’ve had to do through Draft2Digital’s publishers, I want to show off all the amazing artwork and characters this series has to offer. Two, managing so many publishing platforms and working on advertisements and book links for everything was rather difficult and time consuming. And three, the majority of readers do appear to be coming from Amazon, so from a marketing sense it would be easier to focus my advertisements and promos through one marketplace rather than juggling so many others for little gain. So as of now and moving forward into the foreseeable future, all book releases will be Amazon exclusives. Except for possibly audiobooks.

Speaking of audiobooks, there are some things in the works regarding that, but that’s going to be a dedicated post at a later date. For now, know that the prospect of turning the entire series into audiobooks hasn’t been abandoned and is still being explored.

Moving on to what’s coming up next in the series, I’m happy to announce I’ve already begun work on Chronicles of Eden: Hunters – Act II, and once that is done I have the storyboard for Chronicles of Eden: Season II – Act VI written up for what’s next in the mainline series. Make sure to check out the official Chronicles of Eden website for all updates and teasers.

And that’s all I’ve got for now. Thank you all for your continued support. There’s so much more to tell in this story, and I’m looking forward to sharing it with you all. Until next time, stay awesome, everyone!

Still Alive!

Hello everyone! Sorry about the long gap between updates. I’ve been extremely busy IRL with some big life events happening, and they’ve been taking all my energy and time while leaving almost nothing for my writing. Obviously that sounds bad for the future of my books, but rest assured this busy period of my life is almost over, and will leave me with not only more free time to get into my writing, but also come with great relief that everything’s done and settled with which is always good for a writer that longs to type away all night on his beloved stories. You might be asking, “What have you been up to that’s kept you so busy?”. It’s been a number of things, but I think the biggest has been both, 1) the declining quality of our current living conditions, and, 2) buying a new house and getting everything ready to move to much better living conditions. Yes, the joys of being homeowners and dealing with all that pesky ‘Adult’ stuff that comes with it can be tiring at times, but thankfully the process is almost over with.

And about time too, as I’m eager to publish my latest book. Before you ask, know this; the next installment of Chronicles of Eden is literally at 99% done with its progress bar. The book’s final chapters need some more tuning to make sure everything hits right, there are some parts that I know can be done better, so I wasn’t about to rush it out to publishing when things got crazy around here just to have it done. Once I can get more time to focus on my work, it won’t be long at all before I wrap everything up in a nice bow and get the book out to retailers for everyone to enjoy.

Sorry again about the long wait and lack of updates. Once these big life changes are done and over with, I’ll have much more time again to focus on what I love doing; bringing the world of Eden to life and continuing with its stories. Thank you all for your patience and continued support, I really do appreciate it. Until next time, stay awesome, everyone.

Next Book’s Cover Art

The next entry of Chronicles of Eden is getting closer to release, and the book finally has its cover art all set. It’s time for the newest, albeit youngest, harem king of Eden to step up in his role in the story, and to do that he’ll have to protect those he holds dear with everything he has. More updates to come as the story near completion, until then enjoy this early look at what’s to come.
