Gary Gannaway | 8 comments Not sure I did it correctly. I indicated "This is me."

Is that it? I have a few people who have read the book and liked it.
I want them to be able to search for and find the book and, I hope, write a review.

Thanks you for your help, Emmy.

Gary Gannaway | 8 comments I must have done something wrong. When I search for my book, I get no results.
Please help.

You'll have to contact Support, as that is out of the range of our abilities. They will tell you to wait a few days. You can tell them it has already been a few days.

Please note that it usually take a few days for this book to be searchable by title/author.
A search via ISBN should work, though.
