Author's Tranquility Press got my phone number, and they keep calling thinking that I'll pay them for promotion.

ATP is 100% a scam.

Also: my books are not promotable. Nothing anyone does could make people want to buy them. #writing

@mwl your books are privacy respecting

"Run Your Own Mailserver" was delivered in plain cardboard packaging so I don't have to worry about postal employees constantly bugging me for mail service tips

@lufthans

does @mwl market "discreet packaging" as a benefit of buying from his TWP store?

If not, it's clearly a missed opportunity. 😛

@gumnos @mwl if delivered at Penguicon there might also be indiscreet packaging options

"Phew, the packaging reads «Industrial Laxatives, Carton of Adult Diapers, and 128oz Vasaline» and not «Run Your Own Mailserver». That could have been really embarrassing."
