Amazon Art Nouveau KDP Bug
Let me start by apologizing to anyone this past week who has tried to purchase The Art Nouveau Coloring Book: Hats, Cats, & Vintage Romance. There is an ongoing issue involving estimated book delivery times between Amazon KDP and Amazon Retail. Unfortunately, I’ve been stuck in the middle trying to get to the bottom of this. This past Saturday, the title was temporarily removed because what I believe was an automated scan detected the words “Alphonse Mucha” along with “Klimt”, two founders of the Art Nouveau movement who are long dead.

Amazon Content Review is Useless
Someone, somewhere is laughing at me. They’re saying to themselves, “see, this is what he deserves for choosing to publish his coloring books with Amazon KDP.” Yes, it’s an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound somehow involving a flintlock musket. It’s a Darwin Award without the award. I get it, so go ahead and be self-righteously snarky. Hindsight is 20/20. But just like Ishmael, I’m about to go down with this ship in a blaze of glory.
