Wh…wha….what? Getting your very own book category on Amazon???? Yeah, right, you say. As it stands right now, KDP (Amazon indie publishing platform) is missing even mainstream categories to list some of our books accurately, as I found out during my free promo a few days ago. For example, my book GOLD TRAIN (Accidental Spy Russia Adventure), should be listed in the following categories:
Guess what, “thrillers” is as far as KDP categories go, although “tales of espionage and & intrigue” is available on Amazon! And with “romance” they only offer “romantic suspense” (not entirely appropriate at all), but no “romantic mystery” (totally appropriate), although again, this category is available and I’ve seen some books listed.
So, you think the title of this post is a joke? Nope, honest to goodness truth! Some ARE getting not only all the categories their hearts desire, but also, their very owncategories on Amazon, like the well known TV series Stargate Atlantis, which has been adapted as novels. Continue reading →

How exciting! Our very own M.C. O’Neil of the RoyalManaBall.com blog has been interviewed by Vinny Eastwood on The Vinny Eastwood Show on 2/18/13! Vinny is a trail-blazing, forward-looking, off-beat and brave Kiwi, who’s interviewed the likes of David Icke!
Mark and Vinny discussed the following topics: NWO, the shifts in the world system and the USA, conspiracy theories, predictive programming in the media and YA literature, and what it’s like to become aware that what you’ve been told your entire life may be not the truth. Mark O’Neil also talked about his fascinating YA fantasy, The Ancients and the Angels. I’m starting to read book one, The Ancients and the Angels: Celestials, and I’ll let you know my thoughts as soon as I’m done. Look for my review here, on GR, Shelfari, and Amazon in a few weeks!
What’s also awesome, Mark O’Neil discussed me and my book, The Earth Shifter, on the show, and I thank him from the bottom of my heart for this terrific endorsement! Watch the entire interview below! The piece about yours truly starts at 35:06. Check out the whole thing!
