Thanks Troy for the great info, links and the add. I think you're right. There are most likely well over a hundred categories and they are still creating more from what I've heard. Btw, I will utilize your Amazon code.

The   "5 Things Writers Must Do To Survive Online" link you supplied doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for this

It's the first book of a trilogy and my debut novel.

I would guess that since most iconic artists have administrators overseeing their website that his administrator thought to add the Nobel Peace prize winner tag to Dylan's website on his own and when Dylan saw it, he had it removed. Of course all speculation Lol!. I would be very surprised if Dylan accepts the $900k. It's not like he needs the money. If I'm wrong and he does accept it, I would then predict that he will donate it all to charity. To your aside point: I am fortunate to have a book that is a #1 bestseller right now in several Amazon categories, though I do agree with you that Amazon is a brilliant marketer, I have invested a lot of time and resources in marketing my book as well and I think it does make a significant difference.

Obama recently made a joke about the award saying that he still doesn't know the reason why he has it.

I find it ironic that Dylan has slapped the Nobel peace prize committee in the face by refusing to acknowledge the award, or even returning their calls to see if he will attend the ceremony. He won't even speak to them. Maybe he himself doesn't think they should have given him the award. I wouldn't put it past him.

I join Christopher in congratulating you for your devotion and dedication to AALBC. Indeed, it is appreciated!

I appreciate the compliment Dr. Chase. I also think the cover for 'Kleptomaniac' is very creative and effective. Much success to you!

No, I have not but I will definitely look him up now that you have mentioned him and his book.

Thanks Troy, I appreciate it and thank you for offering this valuable resource for African-American authors!

Synopsis: In the year 1355 BCE, the land of Egypt was the superpower of the known world.

"Coffey not only creates empathy for and breathes life into historical figures, but he inhabits his narrative with a cast who, like real people, are neither good nor evil, but a confused mixture of motive, belief, upbringing, and circumstance." -Kirkus Reviews
