So I see you do "play" with the amazon price point a lot, like currently its $3.19 but when you beat stephen king you had a sale of $0.99 or maybe you allowed amazon to put it on sale. Can you even pay your bills just from the book so far? I heard that has became very, very hard and like 999 in 1000 authors cant.

Thanks for replying, I appreciate it. I am from europe (germany & spain) and always thought the WP and Nytimes were like the best newspapers of the world. And Foxnews was just right and evil. This completely backflipped in the pre-election times. The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos of Amazon since a couple of years and he does follow his own interests, it was pretty much know in the pre-election times that any WP reporter can go find a new job if he wrote anti-clinton or pro-trump.

I mean this was pretty easy to see daily in the newspaper. Anything Trump did was just pure evil, they ran daily attacks on him. While anything Clinton would do was heaven sent. I actually was suprised they did report about her fainting at the 9/11 memorial. Because normally they would never mention a bad thing about her.

I found the Nypost - tho mostly a boulevard paper - was much fairer in their reporting because they did run negative stories about BOTH trump and clinton - even still today, like today the nypost reports about the dacota pipeline actually not using US steel as Trump promised.

As opposed to WP & Nyt exaggerating anything Trump does by factor 100 - and only doing so with Trump. That is not factual reporting, that is an agenda because they wanted to force their candidate.

Another source I really enjoy is the Drudge Report http://drudgereport.com/ - tho its very much pro Trump in the choice of articles they link to on their startpage (its mostly a daily collection of interesting articles from international sources, made very readable and easy to view) - it does give a nice contrast to the completely one sided journalism today of WP, CNN and Nyt.

So yeah, I do not know what happened to free journalism. I dont even think all the journalists really are Anti-Trump/Pro-Dems. I think its more a factor of these 6 companies that basically own all US media now (just 25 years ago it was 50 companies) were trying to secure their power, influence and relationships by electing Clinton.

Was just the german soldiers taking drugs back then? Or also some of the "allied forces", russia, uk, french...?
