Following Your Favorite Authors on Amazon

Keli Gwyn here with a confession. I can be slow at times. That's especially true when technology is involved. A cyber whiz I'm not.

Since the release of my first Love Inspired Historical, Family of Her Dreams, is getting closer, I thought it would be wise to update my Amazon author page. After all, June will be here before we know it.


I typed my name in the search bar, and up came my beautiful cover. Doesn't the Love Inspired design team do great work?


I clicked on my name. My author page appeared, complete with my smiling face.


As is often the case when I revisit a profile page after some time away, I discover things have changed, usually for the better. That was the case this time.

Just below my picture, there is now a "follow" button. I clicked it, not sure what would happen. The word "follow" became "following." That was it.


Or so I thought.

A few weeks went by, and I received an email telling me that Keli Gwyn has a new book coming out. Yup! Amazon was telling me about my upcoming release. How cool is that?




I've since become a fan of the "follow" button. I've visited the Amazon pages of my favorite authors and clicked away. I'm eagerly awaiting a flood of emails letting me know when more of the stories I love will be available.


Did you know about the Amazon "follow" button, or am I the last person to figure out how this nifty feature works?

Keli,
I didn't know about it either. I too, am slow at technology. The gals I work with at my day job tease about my flip phone! LOL.

I will definitely check this out - and look forward to getting an email about your June release! Wahooo, thanks for the info. :)
Best to you!
