I’ve always found it immensely irksome that when you type my name into the Amazon.com search box, no results come up, even though Amazon sells numerous anthologies that I’m in and even though those anthologies are all tagged with my name. Well, there’s a new feature on Amazon that addresses this. Now you can go to the page for a book and suggest search terms for which that book should appear. I would highly recommend that all authors do this for every anthology in which you’ve been published (and for which you’re not already listed as one of the authors). You can access this feature by scrolling down to the section “Tags Customers Associate with This Product.” The whole process takes forever to actually work its way through the Amazon system, but once it finally does, you’ll see this on the page for your anthology:
And then when you do a search on your name you’ll see this:
Nifty.
