My first novel was finally removed from Amazon.

I suspect a lot of authors would lament the removal of their first novel from Amazon, but for me it's a victory and a liberation. I wrote more about it on my website, but the short version is that I published a sf novel through a small press in 2013, they went out of business in 2019, and the book got orphaned. It was out of print and if anybody bought the Kindle version I wasn't getting paid. However, I was able to find one of the people who ran that publisher and persuade him to intercede on my behalf.
