ok, here is an example of what I mean by lack of discover-ability. There are two indie authors who I've been reading and really like, Marc Alan Edelheit and Duncan M Hamilton. Edelheit wrote the Stiger series and Hamilton wrote the Wolf of the North series. Both came out with new books, Edelheit on the 24th and Hamilton on Oct 2nd. I found both this week in passing. I'm in theory following both authors on Amazon and have bought all the books by both. One would think that Amazon might send me an email informing me that they had new books, but no. I had several pre-orders come out on Tuesday and bought several other books during the week, so Amazon at least had an opportunity to throw those books on my landing page. I'm even following Edelheit in authoralert. It seems like the only reliable way to find out if an author has anything new is to do a manual search on Amazon, author by author. It really is ridiculous.
