Typically, Amazon’s Author Central is a “set it and forget it experience for authors. Don’t let it be. With TWO BILLION reader hits a year on the Amazon site checking into various author profiles … updating your author profile is a must do. Change your thinking.

Recently, I took a pic of the spread of the books that Amazon features on my Author page—if you have one book, it will be the one … if you have other titles that you have linked to your profile, it will show up to three – and Amazon rotates them … here’s what mine showed on Saturday AM. August 30, 2025:

hello… HELLO!

Tis the Fall season and summertime is fading. If you are thinking of writing and publishing, my books will be the guide for your success. Two that are must haves: The Author’s Walk and How to Avoid Book Publishing Blunders. If you want a “book open and fall in” historical fantasy read, my series with coauthor Brian Barnes is set in the 11th century: The Secret Journey, The Secret Hamlet, and the just released The Secret Rise are calling to you.

Then, I did a copy/paste on the “Add your Bio in another language” …. And added six other languages … the links will be on your BIO Profile page—French, Japanese, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese—usually with 72 hours of the language you choose.

Your CALL TO ACTION … Update your Author Central Page on a quarterly basis … think Seasons … I did the transition from Summer to Fall this week.

You start it all when you log into  https://author.amazon.com and click on the magic edit your profile.
