              Worries Won't Happen - Fred's Story (part  one)  
                             Special price ---          https://amzn.to/2Go5umS    


SPECIAL PRICE for “Worries Won’t Happen” of $7.73, and free shipping with Prime.  It might be that Amazon has a heart.  I asked:  “Is there a one-time price for both books.  They answered:  Nope, there isn’t any such special. 
     I went to Mariam’s author page to check that all books, both paperback and eback, were linked together.  

   I noticed a lower price of $8.20 on Worries Won't Happen and asked about it and received the following answer. 

Your paperback ASIN : 1729564674 was discounted ($8.20) by Amazon. Please note that your royalties will continue to be calculated from the list price ($12.22)

     This morning I checked and the price is lower yet - $7.73.  I don’t know how long this will last and whether it will go back to the original price.  If you have already purchased “Worries Won’t Happen”, this will be a great time to purchase gifts for birthdays or the day we get rid of CoronaVirus, whichever comes first. 

      Now I’m wondering:  Did Amazon give the discount due to the struggle I had in getting “There’s Nothing I Can’t Do” online?  It should have been easier after three previous books but I can always find a way to make errors.  It took five submissions before I shouted “Hooray, it’s accepted.” 

    
      Due to this low price, this letter is going out before I receive proof copies although I have read it four times online.  Amazon’s check-it computers and I disagreed on the quality of pictures in my book.  There are 133 pages and 163 pictures counting copies of news stories and letters.  
     Some of the old pictures, that I cherish, didn’t have enough dots per inch for their system.  Page numbers were sent to me and I fixed them to the best of my ability. 

     When I get the proof copy, I’ll check for errors.  If you notice any errors, depending on how serious, I could do a re-issue.  Right now I feel a pressure to get this published before anything happens that could prevent it.   I have not left my apartment in a month, except to take long walks.  If a couple of those little coronaviruses found a 92-year old, they would eat me for breakfast.


Note Number One:  My fifth book, “THIS n THAT, my Collected Stories,” has the first two chapters underway.

Note Number Two:  All royalties from all books, go to
