This post was supposed to go out yesterday, but the best-laid plans and all that...
This book has a bit of a cursed history. Amazon has various automated checks to make sure somebody isn't ripping off an existing book. So what tends to happen is my attempts to republish the books under my own author account get flagged as infringing the copyright of my books when they were previously published with eXcessica. This is usually easy to resolve as I have signed documentation from eXcessica to revert the rights back to me after they closed down.
Except for this book, for some reason...
I had a hellish fight trying to get the ebook out in 2022. I just ended up with the wrong people on Amazon's Kindle Content Review team and it took a while to find someone that wasn't an idiot to resolve the problem.
I'm getting the same flags come up now I'm putting out print versions. For A Succubus for Christmas it was resolved within 10 minutes. I sent the same reply and documentation back for A Succubus for Valentine's Day, and nothing...
Given the fight I had to get the ebook out, I was dreading having the same problems.
Thankfully, it seems to have resolved, albeit taking about 36 hours rather than 10 minutes.
A Succubus for Valentine's Day is now available, again, as a physical print book for the first time in a few years. With a lovely, if extremely deceptive :D, new cover courtesy of Marwmellow. I've also updated the ebooks on Amazon and elsewhere to use the new cover (except Smashwords, as I still need to properly merge it with my Draft2Digital account).
I've tried to keep the price as low as possible, but Print-on-Demand paperbacks are unfortunately more expensive to produce than mass-market paperbacks, so the lowest I could drop it was $15.99. It is at least now an option if people want a physical copy for their bookshelf.
(With a very innocent-looking cover to properly traumatize anyone reading the first story by mistake. :D )
You can find it on Amazon here:

I hope you enjoy it and happy Valentine's Day!
