Do You Amazon?

Well, my book, Mumsi Meets a Lion, has made it onto Amazon.com. It's sorta anti-climactic though because there is no image available (huh?) and it's still in the pre-order phase (whah?). Hopefully, that will get changed soon, and the throngs of lion-loving, Kenya-curious folks out there who've been just waiting for a book with the Swahili word "mapopo" in it will begin ordering by the gross. In the meantime, I'm sending the book to reviewers, lining up book signings, and attending book fairs. This is fun, but I'm still not very adept at the whole self-promotion thing.

  1. Hey Kim,

    I'm very excited to be the first to comment on your blog. . . I'm very surprised Michael didn't beat me to it, but oh, well.

    It looks like the Amazon thing says it ships from and is sold by Amazon.com, so I wonder if that means they're waiting for the pallets of books to hit their warehouse.

    Did you see Amazon has something called Amazon.com/connect where you can identify yourself as the author and interact with readers? Cool, huh?

    Oh, and I gave it a five star rating!
