After a week of focusing on other people, I finally had an opportunity
to spend a little time on me this morning. The first thing I did was end my
procrastination and make some of my books available on Nook. Starving for Love,
And Eat it Too, and Bump This will soon be available on Nook. Yay!
In other news, this morning has been a lesson in subtle
differences.
The second thing I did was inform Goodreads that not all of
my books have been properly linked to my author page. The problem: books listed
under L.T. Ville are automatically linked to my author page, but books listed
under LT Ville are not. Yes, you’re seeing it correctly. Without the periods,
the only way to link the books to my author page is to get the Goodreads
librarians to do it for me. Is it me or is that weird? Shouldn’t L.T. Ville and
LT Ville be the same person unless otherwise noted?
The third thing I did was what any self-respecting author
does from time to time: I googled myself. Well actually, I googled something that
often pops up in the auto complete section when I google myself. Anyway, I was
surprised to find, that at least a few minutes ago, if you go to Amazon and search
the books for “self-mutilation” Starving for Love is number 1. If you go to
Amazon and search the books for “self mutilation” Starving for Love isn’t even
on the first page, instead it’s three pages in and ranked at number 31. I’m not
complaining, because who knows how long I’ll be in the top 100 for either, but
I am wondering how a hyphen could make such a major difference in placement.
Status: Wondering if I’ll notice any other subtle
differences today.
