It seems I messed up. I didn't replace the book tips in my newsletter template, so what you got was book tips from March this year, not the ones you should have gotten! Hence, this addendum, in which I correct the mistake by providing you with the correct book tips! My apologies!

I've been pondering a dilemma. My new book is due out soon <https://koenmartens.nl/pages/ein-1-the-ein-particle.html?mtm_campaign=nl202…>. My book marketing consultant advised me to enroll it in Kindle Unlimited (otherwise known as KDP Select). Initial readership will be larger this way. The trouble: it means I will have to sell the book exclusively through Amazon for the first 90 days after release. It's rather anti-competitive of them to demand this. I just can't decide. I'm lacking the data to make a sound decision. So I'm asking you for help! Dear reader, are you reading books in Kindle Unlimited or elsewhere?

Dresback What if you woke up in another person's body? When Treaz awakes, the mirror is wrong. A stranger stares back and mimics her every movement. That is not her body. Those are not her eyes welling with tears. She had dreamt of a different life, but now she lives a nightmare. This trilogy follows the journey of Treaz and Omani. Six thousand miles lie between them yet they both are trapped in a deplorable reality. Along with unlikely comrades, they struggle to gain control over their lives from those holding them captive. The courageous sacrifices these unassuming women make have a lasting impact on each other, those they care about, and their own worlds.
