back home, with some quality time with my computer for the first time in a couple of weeks. I'm still using Dragon for most stuff, and I'm out of practice from not using it much for three weeks, but I've spent the last hour tagging all my books on Amazon. That's Amazon UK, US, France and Germany. :-)
Apparently it does help if a book has plenty of tags, preferably for more than one person, but any tags at all help. Once the book has been tagged on Amazon, it'll show up on future tag searches. At some point I ought to go and start tagging some of my friends' books as well, but I need to go and practice some things besides copy and paste.
Of course, spending that much time looking at my books' pages on Amazon means getting in a lot of practice at ignoring the one star reviews -- an essential author skill these days. :-)
I probably won't get any work done today on the current manuscripts (unless Predatrix is available to work on the Ipswich story). But I might be able to start catching up on the book log, which has been sorely neglected for the last three months, on account of me being sore.
