Amazon and Simon & Schuster Reach a Multiyear Agreement

I'm so glad I'm already an Indie-published author. But, if I were a trad-pubbed author, I'd want to have been with Simon & Schuster rather than Hachette. S&S negotiated with Amazon for three weeks, and, two months before their current contract expired, reached an agreement. Which makes S&S shine compared to Hachette. For more details, there are plenty of news feeds on this subject today, but here's one to click now:

Best wishes to those Hachette authors.
