Well have you? Whisper sync used to be $1.99 across the board for my books, and I cried and cried and cried when it first happened. Then I saw my royalties, danced for joy, and laughed and laughed and laughed.
Fast forward 4 years, and after coming off the high of a new book launch I noticed a serious downswing in audio sales (like serious, I'm talking less than 20 a day down from a high of almost 70 a day) and I figure it's Chris Fox's fault (hi Chris, waves)
But it wasn't!
Using one of those hide me thingies, I investigated my sales pages at .com to see an actual price rather than a "You're in the wrong place" notification and I find ALL except ONE book is now priced $7.49 when bought with the kindle version! So... far from crying about the price being too low, I now have to cry about it being too high.
Unless...
I see an upswing in royalties inline with the drop in sales. So, did they decide my stuff is all old hat now and take me off the cheap whisper list? Hmmm... what is your experience?
