The oddities of promotion....

Well, I've been at Goodreads for a couple of years, getting book recs and slowly putting some of my reading books in (yes, some of -- like many of you, my nest is lined with books. They're good insulation!) I decided to get serious about the author page, and made sure the pic was up, made a note to blog there a couple days a week about what I'm reading, added a couple of quotes from the latest Kindle release -- that kind of thing.

This is what I think the link is:

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/259969.Katharine_Eliska_Kimbriel

However -- only I can see this. Apparently it's a Twilight Zone moment.

No idea what I've done wrong.

Also, sent my info to BackList E-Books, so I can be found through them! Here's their Facebook page and temporary web site, if you are looking for ideas for more E-Books from great known writers:

I can see your profile page, posts, links to collections, etc...

Are you a Goodreads member?

I iz puzzled....

Technically, yes, but I don't think I've logged in for years, so for all practical purposes probably not.

At the least, this proves it's not in the Twilight Zone. Thanks for looking! Between this and Library Thing, I chose this simply because I can find things easier here. Or I could -- until I tried to find this page.

Library Thing is in TINY type. Tiny type is not my favorite thing. Doesn't adjust well, either.

I just fanned you! I'm a goodreads member!

Sweet!

We can pass along word of books we liked! I just started a reading blog, too. Time to play to my strengths!

I'm a Goodreads member and I can see the page, too. I love that picture of you!

You found the page! I exist! It's almost transcendental.

Are you putting in your reads or what you read Buddy and Princess?

I try to keep up with it, but it's really hard. I do when I think about it. And now that I think about it, I need to go update it! Buddy is finally getting in to chapter books now. And Princess has so much reading for school she's not reading a lot for "pleasure". (I put it in quotes because she's really enjoying the school reading right now!)

I've finally surrendered and put "update XXX" on my work calendar. Otherwise, I'll forget, and since I've read them, others should benefit from my reading!

Glad Princess is enjoying her school reading -- such a gift, when you get it!

I can see your link, and I am not a goodreads member (at least as far as I know....)

Yes, some people are finding it without difficulty, and others? It's very odd. Thanks for reporting in!
