Amazon has a problem when it comes to print-on-demand books, or at least it has that problem with print-on-demand books from Ingram Spark.

My MLVC60 book with Anthony Coombs just went on sale, but Amazon's link offers the above very deceptive result. From this result, it would appear my book is available, but at $89.80, not the list price of $75.

If you click in, you get another layer of deception. It still appears it's $89.80. But if you squint, you see there are new books at $75.

Finally, when you click on the $75 option, you get the actual book as sold by Amazon — and it is listed as temporarily out of stock. The message does say you can order it and will be notified when it's back in stock, but I can assure you most people have given up by now or ordered it for too much money from secondary sellers.

In reality, a print-on-demand book is never out of stock. But Amazon sticks to this silly message each and every holiday season with my books, and I invariably lose sales. Amazon has replied in the past that it has to do with Ingram Spark, and Ingram Spark has replied that it has to do with Amazon.

Order Here — Pick the $75 Option!

Bottom line, for you or anyone you know you would like to order: If you order at $75 directly from Amazon, it will be shipped relatively soon. Bank on it.

I'm not saying Michael Avenatti can't be guilty of domestic violence, but the story — coming initially from TMZ tonight — is not adding up so far.

TMZ, run by Harvey Levin, a Trump crony, at first reported that Avenatti had been arrested on suspicion of felony assault, and that the alleged victim was his ex-wife. Later, TMZ had to recant that materially important part of the story when the ex-wife stated unequivocally that that part of the story had been fabricated, that she was nowhere near the scene of the alleged crime and that, furthermore, she didn't believe Avenatti would be violent with a woman.

Now, Avenatti has bailed out and given a brief press conference, at which he has calmly but emphatically proclaimed he is innocent and that he will be vindicated.

As that was happening, right-wing douchebag Jacob Wohl — implicated in a plot to discredit Robert Mueller over sexual impropriety claims — has taken credit for the Avenatti bust.

This has the earmarks of a bogus claim. If there is credible evidence he did wrong, we'll know soon enough and it should be pursued as it would be with any other alleged assailant.

This one is lovely ...

Aja is back with a new single, “Art Jesus.” (Listen here.)

Aja says:

In the intro of “Art Jesus,” I start off by saying, “I know you want me to apologize and conform. Stop acting like you want the best for me because you want the best for you.” People have taken all my words this year and twisted them around and made me out to be a villain on many occasions, when in reality I've never wanted anything but the best for people, period. I don't have time for people's interpretations of what I am saying. A simple question will get a response. I have nothing else to lose. I'm ready to dive into the battle and go full force. By the battle, I'm talking about going into the music industry as a queer person. People are going to have a lot to say. I'm just here to make music, not listen to stories and malicious propaganda.

To catch up, check out Aja's previous song, “Art God”:
