What do I do to be considered for tagging?
It’s simple. To submit your work for consideration, please include the following information in a reply comment at the bottom of the page:
- Name of your book
- Description (back blurb)
- Amazon link
- Three or fewer requested tags (I won’t publish more than three – choose wisely)
- Author / book website link (if you have one)
Limitations
Your requested tags must be obvious from the book’s description. So if your description clearly describes a fantasy book, then suggesting “fantasy” as a tag is appropriate. However, tags like “great read”, “recommended”, etc. are not allowed on this site. Only those who have read your book can make this determination. So your tags must clearly be determined by the description or I will edit out them out.
After submitting your book…
Visit the “Tag You’re It” tab and tag other author’s books as requested! Your information will be posted on the “Tag You’re It” page and removed from this submission page.

I was born a sharecropper’s son outside of Kennett, Missouri. My parents migrated to lower Michigan when I was two. I became infatuated with law enforcement my childhood heroes being old west marshals and sheriffs. I grew up defending the weak and then put on the uniform of the U.S. Army. My primary MOS or military occupational speciality was as a medic. I went on to also serve as a clerk, tank crewman and a military policeman. I realized my ultimate dream when I became a certified police officer in the fall of 1980. I served as a patrolman, sergeant. detective and training officer. I held a license for six years as a private investigator. I served as a village councilman and then as mayor. This is my story Dreams in Blue.

Mindbender
A Novel of the Systems
Linda Welch
Blurb: “Raithe looks like a teen but don’t be deceived; as a tour guide on Touraine he’s expert at meeting your requirements, especially if you’re female. His father was a bounty hunter, a hero. His mother is only part human. But Raithe, he’s just a fun-loving, skirt-chasing, easy-going . . . Mindbender.
When Ember spots Raithe in the Mary Rose Tavern she sees a means to destroy her sadistic master. But her plan backfires when Marquesa returns from the dead and captures Raithe, and forces him to use his unique abilities for interstellar thievery. Ember and the Dahle Feyeth travel throughout the Systems in search of Raithe. With the help of an abused and reviled telepath doomed by a primitive inquisition, they will battle Marquesa for Raithe’s life, soul and sanity.”
This book has been likened to the early works of CJ Cherryh, Catherine Asaro, and the Liaden books of Sharon Lee and Steve Miller and described as an engrossing and very readable tale set in an interesting universe, in which the pace never lets up from start to finish.
The search for Raithe challenges the self-perception and personal values of the protagonists and they are not always correct in their beliefs. The powerful Dahle are not what they appear to be, and neither is Raithe.

The British commander knows the Taliban control the heroin trade, which brings in vast amounts of money for weapons. They back a covert mercenary unit to steal the drug lords’ money. The deal: they will get intelligence and logistical support from the British Army, and in return they get to keep the money. The unit is put together by DEF’s best man, Steve West; vastly experienced and ex SAS. But the mission goes horribly wrong.

* Name of your book: The Fight for Golden Dawn by Jessie Terwilliger
* Description (back blurb) Rachel and Steven Kade’s two-year-old daughter Danica has been taken by Child Protective Services for what Rachel believes is a mistake. Dani is placed in the care of her Aunt Brooke, Steven’s younger sister. In the beginning of the ordeal, Rachel is panic stricken and desperate to get her daughter back, but Steven has other “priorities,” including smoking pot with his friends, telling anyone who will listen to his conspiracy theories about anything from aliens to the Freemasons, and he and Brooke’s mother who is dying of liver disease in a nursing home after a life of alcoholism.
Brooke attempts to sort through the resentment that she has for her brother while caring for his daughter, but finds it almost impossible to even entertain the idea that the man is even sane and stable enough to be a father in the first place! She soon finds that even Rachel is not as concerned as she first appeared to be in fighting to get her daughter back, as she seems more interested in shopping on her mother’s dollar and forgiving Steven for his courtroom outbursts, outrageous antics, and his desertion as a father and husband.
After his mother’s passing, Steven delves deeper into insanity, and tries to convince Rachel and Brooke of his belief that Danica is the second coming of Christ and that the Freemasons were the ones behind her detainment. Steven believes that if he doesn’t save her they will kill her. Now everyone is headed their separate ways, Steven trying to save Dani from the Freemasons, Brooke trying to protect Dani from her unfit parents, Rachel trying to save her marriage to Steven, meanwhile a shady and deceitful social worker is trying to pull Danica away from everyone she’s ever known by placing her with some hopeful adoptive parents.
In this cautionary tale of the fate of a small child, you will find yourself questioning parental rights, and you’ll be torn between anger, fear, and sympathy for all who are involved. The Fight for Golden Dawn is a story that will give you a new perspective on foster care and parental rights, and just how much the government should or shouldn’t be allowed to intervene in a child’s life.

Finding Jericho
This is a first-class novel about the trials of growing up and about the prejudice projected onto those who have had mental health problems and their families.
Jeffery understands the basis of victimisation and alienation: the fears and insecurities of the perpetrators themselves.
But this is no simplistic moralistic tale. Through his close understanding of human emotion and communication, Jeffery shows that it is possible for victim and perpetrator to simultaneously exist within us all and, ultimately, to change.

The Kama Sutra Of Vatsyayana: Sir Richard Burton, Translator (1883) – Mr. L. Rx, Editor (2008) (Paperback)
Product Description
The Kama Sutra is often thought of as the age old sex position manual. That is a common misconception. Only about 20% of the book concerns sex positions. In reality, The Kama Sutra is a comprehensive way of looking at sexuality. It is about getting to a place where you can maintain a good loving relationship, and where sex is about pleasing each other and knowing how to make each other feel good. As an editor I have tried to find and present to you what I think is an unmodified original translation. I have tried to keep the text as original as I can – including spelling and punctuation. And although the original translation was not illustrated, I have researched and included 18th and19th century Indian sex position illustrations to keep a certain amount of consistency with the writings.

MAKING EXPRESSION LESS TAXING, a Freelancer’s Tax Resource.
Death and taxes are certainties said Ben Franklin . And taxes keep getting more complicated. New writers, artists, and craftsmen desire to derive all or part of their income from “expression activities” like writing, performing, and other arts and crafts. These people have special requirements when it comes to understanding how federal taxes apply to them. At last, this amusing, entertaining and insightful how-to book provides “freelancers of expression” with information necessary to get the most out of unique tax situations, from how to determine if their activity is “for profit”, to recordkeeping, to filing, to appealing determinations.
Walt, a retired Enrolled Agent, worked for the IRS over 30 years, mostly as an Appeals Officer and manager in Appeals. Now he passes on expert insider advice to writers and artisans who want to turn hobbies into careers, or just learn the best strategies for managing their freelancing activities as they express themselves, making their crafts less taxing.

Dave Griffin thinks he has it made–beautiful girlfriend, computer programming job, and all the benefits that come with middle class life in America. Then Dave’s employer callously decides to replace American computer programmers with a combination of offshore and imported labor in order to increase company profits. Now Dave is out on the street and can’t find even a minimum wage job. But Dave still believes in the system. All he has to do is bring the problem to the attention of the media and the people in Washington to get results. But his agitating only deepens his trouble.
At the same time, Dave’s friend Joe Tremaine, a former FBI agent who lost his job after suffering a devastating head injury, is struggling to pay for his medicine and help his daughter. Cynical Joe knows better than to trust anyone in Washington or in corporate America. He embroils Dave in his fraudulent money-making schemes, and when Joe decides to educate the powerful senator who has been the driving factor in eliminating American jobs, his plan goes terribly wrong. Dave is the only one who can help, but helping will force him to choose who and what he cares for. Can an unemployed computer jockey manage to keep Joe-and himself–out of jail? Or will the oddly-shaped bundle in the back of Joe’s truck spell major trouble for both of them?

Title:
I Thought I Grew Up
Description:
I Thought I Grew Up is a story of coming of age again. As author Michelle Churchill approached her fiftieth birthday, she found herself careening into menopause. Suddenly, she could think of nothing but men—about their legs, the hair on their bodies, how their hands would feel holding hers—with an ever-present desire to have male contact in any way she could.
So, how does a single woman living in New York City accomplish that male closeness? Michelle turned to her computer, the only thing she had a true relationship with over the last 10 years. Signing up for every on-line dating serviced she could find and attempting to date the entire Eastern Seaboard, Michelle tells her story through a series of dates.
Penned with a sense of humor, I Thought I Grew Up will keep you laughing through the tears. While discovering that sex was the best cure for hot flashes, she also uncovers secrets she had hidden from herself. Her dating life has taught her to live life with integrity and to better understand what love really is.

This volume presents a study of Arabic morpho-phonology with its basics and intricacies, by making available a wide range of material from the 8th century to the end of the 20th century and exploring the main topics that arise. It uses as its point of departure: the end of the 13th century “Marah al-arwah” by Ahmad b. ‘ali Mas’ud, which is critically edited and provided with an introduction, an English translation and an extensive commentary. It offers an analysis of many grammatical theories, paradigms, Quranical citations, verses of poetry, dialectal variants and Semitic words and concludes with various indices that make the enormous body of information easily accessible.
The tags that I would like to have are:

Murder Passes the Buck
When her neighbor Chester Lampi is shot and killed in his hunting blind, sixty-six-year-old widow Gertie Johnson seizes the opportunity to become a detective. Gertie is abetted (and hindered) in her investigation by her grandson Little Donny, man-hungry best friend Cora Mae, and volunteer bodyguard Kitty. It doesn’t help that Chester’s death has been ruled an accident by the sheriff of this backwoods community in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Or that Sheriff Blaze Johnson happens to be Gertie’s son.
Whether it’s interrogating neighbors, spying, or impersonating the FBI—not to mention staying one step ahead of Blaze—Gertie will do whatever it takes to solve the case, even when the killer takes aim at her.

Untamed Hearts
After six years of wearing the badge Roy Easton finds himself an outcast, aimlessly wandering an unforgiving Montana territory. His life seems a cruel joke until he meets beautiful, independent Margaret Farnsworth. Margaret, a promised woman, sees only that strong, capable Roy is just the man to guide her through the badlands in search of her brother.
As eastern-bred Margaret struggles to overcome the hardships of the west, Roy’s pleasuring hands and kisses inevitably tear her between two worlds. A marked man, Roy can never give Margaret the respectability she deserves, yet he turns his back on his western code of honor as he dallies with the betrothed beauty.
Untamed Hearts is the second book in the Easton Hearts series.

Format: 5.5 x 8.5 Paperback cream
ISBN: 978-1-4327-4442-7
Cover Price: $14.95
Pages: 304
Category: Fiction
Distributed via: Ingram, Baker & Taylor
Published by: Outskirts Press, Inc.
Publication Date: Jul 19, 2009
What would you give up for the people you love?
When Megan Taylor, a single mother and artist living on Cape Cod, receives the shocking news that her cancer has returned, she’s faced with the most difficult decision she’s ever had to make. The love she has for her daughter, Olivia, and her closest friends will be stretched and frayed.
Megan’s illness reawakens her best friend, Holly Townsend’s, torment of a long-held secret and years of betrayal. How does one choose between a daughter and a life-long best friend? Can the secret she has been keeping be revealed after years of lying without destroying everyone in its wake?
Meanwhile, fourteen-year-old Olivia’s world is falling apart right before her eyes, and there’s nothing she can do about it. She finds herself acting in ways she cannot even begin to understand. When her internal struggles turn to dangerous behavior, even the paranormal connection she shares with her mother might not be enough to save her – her life will hang in the balance.
Megan’s Way is a journey of self discovery and heartfelt emotions, exploring the depth of the mother-daughter bond, and the intricacies of friendship.

The Judas Apocalypse
by Dan McNeil
On the eve of the Second World war, Dr. Gerhard Denninger, a German archeologist is approached by infamous Grail seeker Otto Rahn who tells him a fantastic story of Templars, Church scandal, a long-buried manuscript, and the key to finding the famous lost treasure of the Cathars. In 1944, with the help of a group of American soldiers, Denninger continues his quest for the secret of the Cathar treasure. With dangers dogging them at every step, will they find what they’re seeking? And will they be prepared for the shocking discovery that awaits them?

Peggy, I tagged your books. I also downloaded the samples. For Muffin Family, I get the message “The selected item could not be opened…” For “The Rose,” I only get one page, which says “End of this sample…” Do you know what’s going on?
September 2, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Jim,
Thanks for tagging my books. And no I really don’t know what could be wrong with the downloading but I will see if i can find out later tonite. I have church tonite. Maybe on when god unfolds the rose they only give a one page sample. I don’t understand about the The Adventures of the Muffin family. But I will try to find out whats wrong. Thank you for the information about this problem.

Title: Grundish and Askew
Description: Strap on your athletic cup and grab a barf bag. The Dr. Reverend Lance Carbuncle is going to kick you square in the balls and send you on a wild ride that may or may not answer the following questions: what happens when two white trash, trailer park-dwelling, platonic life partners go on a moronic and misdirected crime spree?; can their manly love for each other endure when one of them suffers a psychological bitch-slap that renders him a homicidal maniac?; will a snaggletoothed teenage prostitute tear them apart?; what is the best way to use a dead illegal alien to your advantage in a hostage situation?; what’s that smell?; and, what the hell is Alf the Sacred Burro coughing up? Carbuncle’s latest offering, Grundish and Askew, ponders these troubling questions and more.

24 Bones
Seth, Horus, and Osiris are reborn, fated to re-fight their greatest battle.
Samiya, an Egyptian woman, and Taggart, a Canadian professor of Comparative Religion, have nothing in common, until they find themselves on opposite sides of a bloody war for causes neither is sure they believe in.
The Balance is in jeopardy, and either The Fullness: humanity, law, and reason; or The Void: animal instinct, chaos, and death; will soon rule the world.
But which is the right side? Reason has ruled for centuries. Isn’t it time for Chaos to have a chance?

Hi Everyone,
I’m Karla (author K.L. Brady) and I plan to be crowned the new Tag Master. Will gladly help my fellow authors and hope you do the same. My information is below.
The Bum Magnet
Real estate agent Charisse Tyson seems to have it all-a great job, a dream car, and a McMansion in high-and-mightyville. Everything in her life is just right…except the Mister. While lamenting the break-up with her most recent “the one” during a holiday meltdown, Charisse realizes she has a type when it comes to men—players, players, and more players. A magazine article motivates her to swear off men and examine the complex roots of her romantic fiascos.
Laugh loud and often as Charisse discovers whether her choices in men reflect more than a penchant for good looks, great sex, and bad judgment.

Book Blurb: A children’s’ adventure novel, yes, but A Rock by Moon World is also a puzzle for active, growing minds. 14 cartouche drawings written in the pictograph language of the inhabitants visited by 12-year-olds Lisa and Charlie invite your speculations before they are explained in the text. This story, the beginning of a series, explores that delicate age where childhood gives way to adolescence for two misfits within the context of a dangerous adventure.

Greetings. Please accept this as submission of my book, “Jacob’s Courage,” for this site.
“Jacob’s Courage” is a tender coming of age love story of two young adults living in Salzburg at the time when the Nazi war machine enters Austria. This historical novel presents accurate scenes and situations of Jews in ghettos and concentration camps, with particular attention to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. It explores the dazzling beauty of passionate love and enduring bravery in a lurid world where the innocent are brutally murdered. From desperate despair, to unforgettable moments of chaste beauty, Jacob’s Courage examines a constellation of emotions during a time of incomprehensible brutality.
Called, “gut wrenching” and “heart rending,” this coming-of-age love story allows the reader to comprehend the terror experienced by Holocaust victims on a personal level. Yet, it also reveals the triumphant spirit of humankind and demonstrates how ordinary people can perform extraordinary acts of courage when the lives of loved ones are in danger.
A film company has expressed interest in the movie rights and Jaocb’s Courage has been reviewed extensively, including by Jewish Book World and by the Association of Jewish Libraries. This book resides at many international Holocaust Museums, including Yad Vashem, The US Holocaust Museum, the Toledo Holocaust Museum, the Illinois Holocaust Museum and a Holocaust museum in Poland.
The Amazon page is http://www.amazon.com/Jacobs-Courage-Holocaust-Love-Story/dp/9657344247/ref=sr_1_1/002-8189239-3149614?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174846034&sr=1-1.
Two author web sites are http://jacobscourage.wordpress.com/ and http://jacobscourageaholocaustlovestory.blogspot.com/. The publisher’s web page is http://mazopublishers.com/welcome/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=26.
Several top tags include: “Holocaust, escape, romance novel, Jew, suffering and religion.”

A Child’s Wound
By Dwayne Kavanagh
Tim Hadler, an eccentric narcissist, stalks his next victim and joins the likes of Ted Bundy and Jack the Ripper. Tim enjoys what he does and has perfected his craft. What makes him different than most serial killers is that he can manipulate some of his victims. Those he allows to live. Tim walks the streets of Manhattan, cruising through book shelves and Cafe line ups to find the perfect victims. Unfortunately for Tim he has stumbled upon something that never prepared him for what is about to happen. His next victim turns out to be a New York City Detective. Just when Tim thought he had his life under control he’s drawn into a game like no other.
In Manhattan, N.Y., a Serial Killer stages his victims as if they were works of art. Detective Christine Maloan is tracking down a killer that leaves clues that date back to the Egyptian Pyramids. The hidden symbols are difficult to put together and the murders have the entire city up in arms and the FBI edging closer to taking over the case.
Throughout the story Tim uncovers situations in his past that reveals some insight into understanding why he does what he does. But will that stop him—who knows?

Harry Shoring’s recipe for a life filled with romance, adventure, and excitement: combine one Japanese criminal organization with a Mexican gang that employs your services as an assassin; stir together with a triangle composed of one gorgeous Japanese sweetheart, one best friend who is dead but far from gone, and your own compulsive personality; sift in an older brother who is an FBI Special Agent; season liberally with the ecstasy of murder and maintain the highest possible anxiety level until almost everyone is dead.

My apologies to everyone for getting so far behind on posting all the great new books. I’ll be starting tonight and hopefully be caught up this weekend. Also, I will start to remove the one archived month each month (So August 2008 books) – unless authors from those months specifically contact me and request to have their books added back. This way the list of books will remain for basically one year of tagging but for those who remain active (Like Rai Aren, Dee Marie, Jacamo and others) they can still have their books tagged (hope that makes sense). I’ll also start sending the reminder newsletters out again.
Once again, sorry for the delay – I appreciate everyone’s patience and continued support of the site. I know a lot of authors have really benefited from the visibility tagging has provided – I’m sure they all thank you too!
September 11, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Thanks Todd for the update,over a year now Huh! Well of course I still want my books to remain active on the Tagging list. Between here and the forums I have now tagged about 4000 books,so, yup! I think it is a helping hand for all of us. Thank you for starting the site and for all the work you do keeping it up to date.

What a great year of tagging! It’s certainly helped me and others get some exposure for their books, and I’ll keep on with the tagging as long as this site exists! I can’t find my first book–I know I was one of the first ones so it may be gone now if you’re getting rid of some of the archives. So I’ll submit it once again. Most but not all have tagged it. I think I’ve tagged everyone so I would appreciate the check.
Todd, thanks to a fantastic site and the hard work of all the authors, our books are getting noticed. I appreciate it!

Gasping, SERA wakes from the nightmare-again. Her therapist believes that her troubled young patient is reliving the drowning death from a past life in her dreams. When she convinces Sera to travel back in time to witness the death of that past entity in an effort to break the nightmare’s cycle, Sera is faced with a difficult choice: does she stand by and let events unfold as they will, or does she break the rules of time travel and help to save the ones she loves, only to risk everything, including her own life? The choice she makes results in an anomaly so horrible and yet so beautiful, it transforms each of them.

Title: Hot Issues, Cool Choices: Facing Bullies, Peer Pressure, Popularity, and Put-Downs
Description: Hot Issues, Cool Choices is a collection of 26 vignettes depicting various forms of bullying with thought questions following each vignette. All the vignettes are based on true experiences related to me by students during my school visits, and the book is dedicated to a 12-year-old Minnesota boy who took his own life as a result of bullying. Hot Issues, Cool Choices has received very positive endorsements from nationally recognized educators and is the recipient of a 2008 Mom’s Choice Gold Award and the 2009 Young Voices Foundation Silver Award.

Title: Me, Myself, and I: Youth Meditations for Grades Five through Eight
Description: Being a “tween” can be a very awkward time in anyone’s life. You’re not a full-fledged teenager with cars, dates, and high school issues, but you’re not a little child anymore, either. You can still feel the pull in both directions–wanting to be a child and have fun, yet wanting more responsibility as a teenager. It’s definitely not easy being a tween, but the wisdom offered in Me, Myself, and I can make the journey from tween to adult just a little easier with the reassurance that God is present every step of the way. Recipient of the 2009 Young Voices Foundation Bronze Award.

Great idea! Thanks! Here’s my information:
Book Title:
Outsmart the Unexpected: Grow Your Creativity the Edge-of-your-seat Way
Book Description (from back of book):
In today’s rapidly changing world, a world which can often wreak havoc on our lives, those who can most easily adapt, see things from different angles, and find winning solutions to life’s sudden, unexpected changes with sometimes only imperfect, sketchy information, will be the ones to not only just survive, but to thrive.
Each short, cliffhanger story in ‘Outsmart the Unexpected’ will unfold a predicament and then challenge you to come up with a solution to help one of the characters out of the situation they suddenly find themselves in. Use these cliffhangers to prime your creativity and sharpen your ability to handle any surprise. But, be forewarned: the information is sparse and the stakes are high.

I am trying, but I am very confused on this tagging thing. The name of my book is “Staying Afloat in the Bathtub Business.” It is a “how to book,” on
breaking into the trade of bathtub refinishing. The book may be of interest to folks looking for ideas for a home-based business. The Amazon link is: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Staying+Afloat+in+The+Bathtub+Business&x=12&y=14. What do I do next? Andrea
September 12, 2009 at 2:15 am
Andrea, there were no tags on your book, so I added these: bathtub refinishing, how to, home business
I recommend reading the “What is Tagging?” post at the top of this page, then start tagging other authors’ books as paypack for them tagging yours.
And welcome!

Andrea,
This is something you will learn fast. When I started I had a hard time knowing what to do but Todd is a great guy! He explains it to you well. Happy tagging! I am on my way to do more now.
Todd,
I am still not sure how everything works. Everyone you tag they are suppose to tag you???
Best Wishes all
September 12, 2009 at 5:21 pm
Hi Peggy – you are correct everyone is supposed to tag everyone else (you are doing it right!). In a perfect world you get back as many tags as you give – unfortunately, not everyone who signs up participates to the same level. In general I’ve seen about a 30 to 50% return on tagging over time – those who participate and get involved through commenting. When I send out reminders the tagging usually goes up. I would expect to see your tag count rise over a 4 to 6 week period.
Thank you for all the continued support for the site and all the authors!
Todd
September 12, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Todd,
Thanks for the information. I was getting concerned since my book only has 52 at the highest and some of them are from people I know.
I appreciate the info.
Peggy
P.S. your welcome about the support. Have a great weekend!
September 12, 2009 at 6:13 pm
As Todd said, in the perfect world, you would get as many tags as you give. Realistically, however, I doubt if that’s the usual case. I joined “Tag My Book” in July 2009, and since then, I’ve tagged every book going back to July 2008. That was a lot of books, but I’m retired and have more time than most people. Now I tag books whenever I get a notification of a new post. I doubt if many of the people whose books I tagged from several months ago return regularly to this website until they have another book out.
When I asked for tagging on my Kindle book, I think I got about 20 tags from “Tag My Books,” with the rest of the tags coming from family and friends.
When I asked a couple of weeks ago for tags for the recently published print edition of my book, I only got (to date) about a half dozen tags, with the rest coming from family and friends. So if you’ll indulge me, I’ll ask one more time for tagging the paperback.
Tags: 1950s, baby boomer, american history.
Thanks very much.

Hi all,
This morning I get to savor that good feeling of being all caught up. ( I tag all, not just three.)
Please return the favor. I’m an old time tagger with books back several months. When you tag them, you’ll see firsthand how this thing works. Amazon, in it’s wisdom, has decided to compress my large type and regular editions, but if you use
http://www.amazon.com/$seoName/e/B002CWX7IQ/ref=sr_tc_2_0
you’ll be able to find all four.
Thanks. Nancy

Haunted Destiny
Destiny Dove is the only survivor of a tragic car crash that killed her parents and baby brother. A teen uprooted from her home, she is forced to live with her eccentric grandmother whom Destiny has been taught her whole life to fear. She must start her life over living with an old woman who is not only a stranger to her, but just strange. All Destiny wants is to fit in with kids like her and begin to pull her life back together.
But Destiny soon discovers she is not like the other teens at all. She has developed the family gift of being able to see and talk to ghosts and her estranged grandmother will be the one person who can help her understand what the fates have dealt her…a haunted destiny. Being the town freak does not put Destiny high on the potential friends list, but Jake Turner sees something in her that the other teens from Blake High don’t. Destiny is actually able to put her unique talent to use and help Jake communicate with his recently deceased sister forming a bond between them that no one else can share or know about. In an extraordinary twist of events, Jake’s girlfriend Amy receives some furniture with some frightening ghostly spirits attached to it, and Jake turns to Destiny for help.
Now Destiny must struggle with a force she is unprepared to handle. When a party at Amy’s becomes a showdown between good and evil will Destiny have what it takes to save Amy and the others? Will the help of her grandmother, two resident ghosts and a surprise visitor be enough to rid the Morgan family of the evil possessing them and allow Destiny to finally gain the acceptance she so desperately wants? Or will the ancient evil destroy them all?

Sealed In Lies by Kelly Abell
Jack Weaver can’t seem to escape a life of lies. First as a Seal, then as an undercover CIA operative working in the largest drug cartel in Columbia Jack’s entire existence is based on being someone other than who he truly is. While serving as Chief Security Officer to one of the most dangerous men on earth Jack uncovers a plot to assassinate the President-Elect on Inauguration Day. Suddenly things become infinitely worse when his ex-SEAL commander who is now a Deputy Director with the CIA shows up and blows his cover. Forced to kill him, Jack is now on the run not only for his life but he’s the only one who knows about the assassination attempt, other than a mysterious man who calls himself the Emperor and seems to be calling all the shots.
Moreover, Jack is being haunted by terrifying dreams from his past that seem to be connected to this entire conspiracy involving his old SEAL team. Desperate for answers Jack breaks into the home of Vice-President elect Warren Walters, another SEAL teammate, where he is discovered by Warren’s abused wife Caroline. He forces Caroline to go with him with the intentions of letting her go once he gets the information he needs. Overcoming her fear of Jack, Caroline refuses to leave, seeing this as an opportunity to escape her own life of lies. This starts a chain reaction of feelings neither of them is prepared for. The Emperor has seriously underestimated Jack’s determination to find answers and is losing control over all the puppets he has in play. As Jack and Caroline come closer and closer to the answers and each other, will they be able to save the President-elect’s life as well as their own, or will a blast from Jack’s past destroy them all?

Title:
The Canal (Kindle Edition)
Description:
For detective Joe Lombardi, when a body is discovered dangling beneath the Carroll Street Bridge, the first place he turns to for answers is the nearby canal. With its long history of pollution and neglect, the canal has gained a dubious reputation for ruining people’s lives — Joe’s included. But to Joe’s younger partner, Alan D’Angelo, Joe is little more than a liability, a chain-smoking failure who stands in the way of a much-coveted promotion. Determined to turn the occasion of their investigation to his favor, Alan vows to end Joe’s career by beating him to the killer and currying favor with their new boss. But when it comes to the canal nothing is ever what it seems: as Joe and Alan set out to catch their killer, they’re about to stumble across an unspeakable secret, one that’s waiting for them just beneath the water’s dark surface…

This volume collects the first two novellas in the Spinward Fringe Series: Resurrection and Awakening. Captain Jacob Valance has no memory of his past. Left on a strange ship in an unfamiliar sector of the galaxy, he was forced to begin a new life. Years pass and in that time he’s earned a reputation as a man who can hunt down hardened criminals and go where others fear to tread. The crew of the Samson are caught up in the problems of their Captain as his past starts to catch up with him. Just as new allies start to fall in line old enemies come creeping out of the shadows, putting everyone at risk. While the crew struggles to deal with their own problems, Regent Galactic begins putting a plan in motion that will bring about the fourth fall of man and position their Corporation as the dominant power on the fringe. Their ambition and greed spell disaster for mankind. The Spinward Fringe Series follows after the First Light Chronicles, available in a collected Omnibus.

Spinward Fringe Frontline
What at first seemed to be a chaotic uprising of machine against man is becoming a controlled event, destroying the lives of billions and hurling the known galaxy into a state of utter discord. The fourth fall of mankind is well underway. The Order of Eden seems to be the only force for order and peace, offering a place in their new society in trade for a large cash investment and their freedom. Captain Valance and the Triton crew are finally working as a unit. Oblivious to the grand designs of the Order of Eden, they will be drawn into the center of a galactic conflict over a planet with a secret that’s been buried for decades. The question put to them is not if they can prevail, but if they can survive. Frontline takes the Spinward Fringe series to an epic scale without leaving what makes Space Opera great behind. Frontline has the drama, grit, characterization and humor we’ve come to expect from Randolph Lalonde.

Chicago Author Deno Sandz, spikes the FEARS and IMAGINATION of fiction readers worldwide with 3rd supernatural/Horror
“In Northville Prison, there’s something more Horrifying than prison life…when there’s a GHOST IN MY CELL”
“PEN OF INIQUITY”
BY DENO SANDZ
1-60813-073-8 “IN BOOKSTORES NOW”
In 1998, Derrick Samuel pleaded innocent to an armed robbery of a convenience store, but was found guilty and incarcerated.
Four years earlier, miscreant Daniel Gordon, serving a ten-year sentence for murder at the Northville Prison, was brutally tortured and murdered by the warden, his guards, and six inmates because of his involvement with the outside world regarding the murders being committed by guards and inmates ordered by Warden Verdana. Daniel also complained about
the improper living conditions, drug trafficking, and inhumane working conditions.
That evening four years ago, before the prison closed down due to funding, the guards forcefully pulled Daniel out of his cell and dragged down to a
decaying boiler room. Inside the room awaited the six inmates and the warden. They beat him, chained him to an open steam pipe, and turned
it on.
After a few minutes they took him down from the steam pipe thinking he was dead. Suddenly, Daniel spoke, “I shall remember you.” Then, into
the furnace they placed him…burning him alive.
It is now the year 2002 and a Pen of Iniquity
is about to be opened.

Open the Door, Richard
Forewarned by his mother to pick his friends carefully, Richard finds himself dangling from a rock and about to drop into the Gulf of Mexico when his chosen pal drives his car off the Galveston seawall. Convicted of road rage forty years later, this is but one of the many stories he tells the constantly changing cast of court-appointed psychologists and therapists he winds up going through before it’s all said and done. Growing up with two brothers and a sister was no picnic back in the fifties. So what if oldest brother John was a natural athlete and a bona fide genius?
Take away his speed reading skills and the photographic memory and he was just another jock. Middle brother Harry, on the other hand, was the no account rat of the family and a veritable thorn in Richard’s side. As for his on-again, off-again younger sister, who knew where she stood? If Judy idolized him like he thought she did, why was she always squealing on him? And could his mother’s twisted bedtime stories be the root of Richard’s problems?

Question to Walter Hooey: Why do you post so many books that you’re not the author of? In your profile, it look like you haven’t tagged any other books except the ones you’re promoting.
I’m just asking.
September 15, 2009 at 3:53 am
Jim,
That is a very good question.
September 15, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Hey:
I noticed on my book page (“The Judas Apocalypse”) the tag “post-apocalyptic” has been added for some reason. This is hopelessly inaccurate. Is there any way to remove this, as the story is not post-apocalyptic in any way?
Any help would be appreciated.
http://www.amazon.com/Judas-Apocalypse-Dan-McNeil/dp/098091602X
Thanks
Dan
September 15, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Hi Dan,
First I confirmed that here on the tagging blog we did not request the “post-apocalyptic” tag – so we’re good on that account. My guess is this tag was entered by someone along the way and then when folks went tagging they did not just tag the words from this site but may have just tagged whatever was on your books page.
The solution would be for those who have tagged “post-apocalyptic” to re-tag this box from their account and then it will “untag” and the tag count will actually go down.
So for all you taggers out there – if for some reason you tagged Dan’s book with post-apocalyptic – please untag or uncheck this box on his books site here:
http://www.amazon.com/Judas-Apocalypse-Dan-McNeil/dp/098091602X
Thanks everyone!
Todd
September 15, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Dan,
One more thing that can help – even if someone did not tag your book with “post-apocalyptic” – they can go to the “post-apocalyptic customer community” here:
http://www.amazon.com/tag/post-apocalyptic/products/ref=tag_cdp_ptcl_istp#page=6:sort=relevant
and find your book and disagree with the tag which is the same is removing a tag. I went to this page and “disagreed” with the tag and it should have then moved your tag count down though I didn’t see it change on your books page right away – it is worth trying this as well.

How did you see what books someone has tagged?
I’m new to this. I’m done tagging all of September’s out there so far, and am starting on August. Does this show in my profile? Don’t see it when i’m not logged in as me. I clicked on about the author, but didn’t see anything but an old blog post of mine. I just temporarily changed ’show recent activity’ from ‘private’ to ‘everyone’, but it didn’t make a difference. Can you unpuzzle me? Thanks for your help!

Thanks for posting the instructions for seeing what books we and others have tagged. I have tagged 475 so far – so I feel like a good participant.

Hi, Lynn
Did I miss one of Todd’s posts about seeing what books we and others have tagged? How do I locate the site?
Thanks,
Sandy
September 15, 2009 at 7:24 pm
Sandy,
Just look upthread about three posts where Jim C. posted a link. This is what he wrote:
“…check out Todd’s post yesterday on the Kindle Boards forum for how to see what someone else has tagged:
http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,10515.225.html”
Click on that link and you’ll get the full explanation.
September 15, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Wow, a lot of interest in how to do this – so I’ll re-post here my post from the kindle boards on how to check what you’ve tagged or others have tagged:
**********************************
I had been checking author’s tagging but it is a daunting task to police everyone (I started removing books from author’s who don’t participate).
If you are interested in knowing how to do this – you can search on an author by typing their name along with the word profile. For example, if you google “todd fonseca profile” – my amazon profile page will come up. In the left hand corner of my profile page there is a section about tags. By clicking on “frequently used tags” you get my tagging page:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/tagging/customer-tags/A3IH00TBDPDS1R/ref=cm_pdp_istc_sa
So you can see that I’ve tagged 746 products and you can actually see the date I tagged them.
September 15, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Todd,
I have not been very faithful in tagging these past few months, as my life turned very hectic all of a sudden. But now it has slowed back down and I am starting to go back and get all caught up in the tags. But I think my book has been taken off of the tagging system. Since I plan to continue tagging, can I get my book back on here?
Thanks,
Katie McCurdy
September 15, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Thanks for explaining it, Lynn–that is really cool!
Sandy
September 15, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Hi, Todd
Lynn explained how we know who tags what which is really cool, but I still have a question. It looks like everyone else’s Amazon profile give the number of tags on the first page (e.g. see all 374 tags), but my first page just says, “see all tags” with no number till you go to the second page. I would think the number of tags would always be on the first page.
Thanks,
Sandy
September 15, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Hey Todd (& Everyone Else Too),
I must be doing something wrong. I can look in my account and see that I’ve tagged 329 books but when I try to do a search to pull myself up using “Paige Jackson profile” it doesn’t bring me up.
Can you see me when you do the search? If so, I’m not going to worry about but if not …
Thanks!
Paige
September 15, 2009 at 8:30 pm
I have gone down the list and tagged all all of the new folks books listed for September,brings me up to date again with the process. I have noticed a distinct falling off of tags on my own books though. Please look at them and tag them for me will Ya! I need all I get!:-) (like everyone else) Jacamo
September 15, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Are we allowed to submit other people’s books? I am curious why Jim’s question about Walter’s books went unanswered. I hate to be a spoilsport, but it certainly looks like Walter is not tagging anyone’s book, but every other day he keeps submitting a different author’s book to this site.
I am happy to tag everyone’s books. But it has been over a month and no one has tagged my books.
In all, I have tagged nearly 600 books since joining this site. But I only have a maximum tag score of 71. Where are the other 530 taggers? If we were all playing by the same rules I should have as nearly as many tags as I have given. This is a very lopsided disparty between tags given and tags received. What is going on?
I am very upset about this situation. Authors are getting a free ride and are not playing fair. If Walter is not tagging books, his books should not appear on this site. I certainly don’t think he should be submitting other people’s books to this site either.
We have more than enough books to keep up busy tagging here without one author constantly submitting other author’s books. This disgusts me even more because the authors of the books he submits aren’t tagging our books. I really don’t like what is going on.
September 15, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Kevis, I emailed Walter Hooey and got a response. Let me paste the emails together and send them to Todd and see what he wants to do.
September 15, 2009 at 8:44 pm
I wonder if someone (such as Walter and a couple of others) are acting as a publicist for some authors. If that’s the case, they better also be tagging every other book on this site as well.
Kevis,
I agree with your points above, but one point to clarify. The number of tags you do will always be more than the number of tags you receive because when you click on someone else’s book you may click on six or seven different tags. So that number will add up more quickly than the number of single clicks on any of your own tags will.
September 15, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Paige,
Have you created a profile on amazon.com? I don’t see it either when I google it.
September 15, 2009 at 8:51 pm
Shouldn’t we all be writing…I’m Kidding.
Is the site slow or is it my internet connection?
I’m just going to tag everyone and hope that they show so some love!
Cheers,
September 15, 2009 at 9:02 pm
Kevis,
I also agree. I have 3 novels listed here and it seems like, after a certain point, they just don’t get any further tags. One of my books has been stuck at 50 tags for at least two months (and it was only published 3 months ago). And my Kindle versions are getting next to nothing. But it’s probably impossible to separate out who is tagging and who isn’t, then only tag those who have tagged me. I’m working on the theory of karma. Eventually all the good karma I send out will rain back down on me.
I am once again all caught up on my tagging. For anyone who has missed any of my books, here they are. Click any tags you like. Beggars can’t be choosers!

So that number will add up more quickly than the number of single clicks on any of your own tags will.”
You’re absolutely right, Lynn. My problem isn’t that my books have fewer tags than what I’ve given. My problem is that my books aren’t getting tagged at all! I’m up to date tagging all the books on this site except the ones being submitted for September (which I will do when Todd officially posts them in the Tag My Book section).
But it’s clear by the sheer difference in the tags I’ve given and received that there is a problem. and yes, I really do have a problem tagging the books that Walter has added to the site. It’s time consuming enough to tag the books that are submitted by individual authors without having to also tag the books of authors who are NOT tagging in return. Todd should NOT allow authors (or publicists) to submit the books of other authors to this site. Even if the aforementioned publicist or author tags every book on this site, the sheer number of submissions by the publicists creates a situation where the authors of these books are not members of this site and have no incentive to tag our books.
I do not feel that this is fair and will happily spend a month or more if needed to remove my tags from every book on this site written by an author that does not engage in the tagging process.
This is a classic example of the bait and switch and not what we signed up for when we joined this site. In this case, the rule should be a tag for a tag. Or at the very least a return of the minimum of 3 tags in exchange for each and every single book that we tag. Anything less than that is an author (or publicist) taking advantage of the generosity of the authors who participate on this site.
September 15, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Hi Katie – your book is still on the site here:

September 15, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Dwayne,
I have felt the same way.
I have tagged at least 440 books if not 450 since I started. My own books have only 52 at the highest tag. Some from friends. But they should accumilate soon. I hope. Tag on friend and hopefully we will be rewarded for the fruits of our labor!

September 15, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Kevis,
I agree with your concerns and look forward to the info Jim has received. I do let authors post multiple books if they have them which does mean that total number of tags given will be different from what is received since any one person can only give one tag per book per “tag”. So it won’t all equal out. However, We should not have a situation where numerous books are added to the site with no hope of ever getting tags in return for them. More to come on this I’m sure…

Book Title: “Last Door”
Description: This is the true story of a father reunited with his young son. He discovers, over time, that the boy’s mind is fractured into more than 400 multiple personalities that protect his secrets. The family’s lives are threatened when they discover he is also possessed by demons that seek to destroy them. The boy’s mother offered her son up to a satanic cult and to abuses so horrific that they seem more like fiction than reality. How does this happen to a God-fearing family, and how do they deal with what is revealed to them? A young boy’s secrets could destroy this family, or, at the very least, bring it to its knees.
When the O’Neal family is threatened by mysterious forces, cultic rituals, and a labyrinth of obstacles, they find out how far they will go and how hard they will fight to save one of their own and themselves in the ultimate, real life battle of good verses evil.

Peggy, things are really slow now with the new procedures Amazon is using for Kindle DTP. I made a simple price change last Thursday, and it took four days till it showed up online.
Worst case, Amazon tech support is fairly good. Sometimes when a book gets “stuck” in the process, they are the only ones who can get it unstuck.

The Accused Madam (Kindle Blog Edition)
The Accused Madam is founded by Vicky Gallas and offers the European liberal perspective on adult business prosecutions and legal pursuits in the US. Daily topics frequently involve commentary on political agendas and current news specific to government, law, and adult business. This blog is, avowedly, a view from the left and in the voice of a defendant that was pursued relentlessly by those with a political agenda.
Vicky Gallas owned escort services in Orlando, Florida for a decade when she was prosecuted on organized crime charges and subsequently acquitted by a jury of her peers.

Memoirs of an Accused Madam: The War on Adult Business in Orlando (Paperback)
Vicky Gallas opened her Orlando-based escort service in 1992. Beginning in 1994, she became the subject of years of law enforcement-induced intimidation and publicized misinformation. In this honest and shocking story never before told, we learn about the hypocrisy that permeates a legal system in which business owners can be prosecuted by the very individuals who benefit from their services. In Memoirs of an Accused Madam: The War on Adult Business in Orlando, former escort service proprietor Gallas offers a revealing view into the workings of escort services and the extremes a community’s “morality police” will go to shut their doors and imprison their owners. This memoir is not intended as a defense of escort services. Rather, it is a straightforward and carefully documented overview of the fundamental flaws in the U.S. criminal justice system and how one woman stood up to state RICO charges to become the only escort service owner in the U.S. to be found not guilty.
About the Author
Vicky Gallas owned escort services in Orlando for many years. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Modern Social and Economic History from the State University of New York (SUNY) and pursued graduate studies in History. A resident of Cape Canaveral, Florida, the author has acted as consultant to defendants facing criminal prosecution in the ‘adult business’ industry.

Blueprint for an Escort Service (Kindle Edition)
Blueprint for an Escort Service is written with legal issues in mind. The idea is to send out sexy escorts by the hour, and not escorts for sex. If opening an escort business is your plan, this book will save you unimaginable trouble and avert potential disasters at every corner. You are receiving the benefit of my 13 years of experience in the escort business, and the 13 years does not include several years of knowledge developed from the arrest, case, and trial that resulted in my acquittal by jury. If you are going to read advice and operational plans in relation to the escort business, don’t you want that advice to come from the one escort service owner in the US that beat racketeering and conspiracy charges?
This book is written for those people that suddenly find that they’re on the verge of poverty and have the desire, audacity, and guts to dig their way out of that hole. It is also written for the wage slave that wants to live for a change, or the single mother that wants to spend time with her children, not working 50 hours a week for nothing. It could also be for the person with health problems that can’t go out and do physical work, or for the reader that simply wants to know about escort business operations. The escort business is what you make it, and it certainly can be fun, exciting, and profitable all at the same time. It is a potential solution to financial problems.
The entire point of the book is to make opening an escort service anywhere a simple project. Some chapters are short as it is not my intention to reinvent the wheel. The word count total is 32,000. The print edition is 115 pages.

Good Morning,
I’m tagging like crazy this morning, my inbox filled with requests. I did notice quite a few notes that said about people not tagging and certain books at a tagging standstill. My own 2 cents–yes it does happen. My novel, Angel’s Fire, Demon’s Blood, has been on Todd’s chart since Feb. and has only 41 tags as of this morning. My cookbook, I Can’t Cook, has been on the list since last year and has only 98 tags–it hasn’t changed in more than 6 months.
Also, like most authors, I run under a psuedonym on Amazon to avoid trolls–are you still capable of seeing my tags?
My sadly neglected books links are:

Description: When I left McKarey’s Bluff ten years ago, I never planned to return. Ariel Morgan had refused to marry me and there was nothing left to stay for. Now Ariel is dead, supposedly by her own hand, and her younger sister, Rachel, is spiraling toward that same fate. Rachel used to be in love with me, maybe even more than Ariel. But she was a kid then. Now I’m returning to save a woman. And McKarey’s Bluff is a small town haunted by more than Ariel’s death. Years ago fifteen prostitutes disappeared. Sometimes the ghosts come back, not that I believe in them. But something isn’t right here, and I’m seeing things I can’t explain. I came to save Rachel, but I’m not even sure I can save myself anymore.

JC, I have no problem with authors reposting their links here periodically, since we obviously have too many authors who want tags but won’t take the time to tag other’s books. Reposting by authors who are actively tagging books is about the only way to get your own tag count up. Hopefully, when people get the word that non-taggers will be found out and deleted, things will improve.
September 16, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Just for the record, each of today’s repostings were tagged again by one of my amazon accounts.

I’ve been reading all of the comments regarding tagging and getting tagged. Glad the topic is out there because I was beginning to wonder why I spend a great amount of time each week catching up on tagging, but find that my book has not had a tag in over a month.
I’m reposting my book link for taggers who may have missed it, and I promise to continue doing my share!

My latest novel was just placed on Amazon this morning. It was actually a lot quicker this time. Suprised me to find it there!
Title: Beyond Salvation
Blurb: A teenage runaway disappears from the streets. The only people that care, or even notice, are her two best friends who are also runaways. For reasons of their own, they can’t go to the police for help.
They seek out Michael Sykora, a software designer by day and hit man by night. Known on the streets as The Ghost, Michael has a reputation for taking on the twisted criminals. Rapists. Child molesters. He has never been hired to find the lost. Until now.
Michael teams up with ex-prostitute Nicki and full-time hit man Sean. Together they bend the rules of the justice system in order to find a young girl few people care about. In the process, they uncover a world where salvation comes with a price tag and God’s words are used to incite fear in a congregation of believers.

Walter,
It’s sad that you don’t want “take the time” to let us know which accounts you have tagged our books with. But judging by your track record, I don’t blame you.
Just for the record, I want you to know that I have no problems with tagging any of the books that you submitted to this site which has your name (or penname) on it. But if I may ask, which ones are those?
I have just spent the past hour going through every single book submission to this site. And learned some very interesting information. In total, you have submitted 41 books to be tagged by the members of this site. Not 2, or 3, or 5, or even 10—but 41 books! Most of us have been blindly tagging these books without ever realizing that none of these books are written by you.
Even if you tagged every book on this site twice, do you really think what you are doing is fair? Now it makes total sense to me why there is such a disparity between the number of tags given and received.
I don’t know you, so you may be a nice guy. But knowingly or not, you have taken advantage of the honorable authors who go out of their way to make sure that every book submitted to this site gets tagged in the hopes that their hard work will be rewarded with tags of their own.
In all fairness, you are not the only culprit. But by the sheer volume of your book submissions, you are without a doubt the most egregious abuser of the system.
If you had any honor, you would either make the authors of the books you have submitted become full-fledged and participatory members of this site or request that Todd immediately remove your books from ‘Tag My Book On Amazon’.
In the meantime, I will remove all of my tags from every one of the books you submitted that don’t have your name on the cover. And if you feel you want to remove your tags from my book, that is fine with me. I don’t think losing the tags from your 2 accounts are going to hurt me all that much.

Hi Everyone,
I’ve tagged till I’m tagged out today…I think I’m caught up with tags…
September 17, 2009 at 12:16 am
Hi Kevin
The reason I don’t reveal each name of the different Amazon accounts as they are not mine, they are friends, an ‘ex’ and relations, who don’t expect me to put their names out there, because I told them I would only be using their accounts on Amazon, not revealing them on other sites, (like this).
So I just tag each book, or repeated books, as they come, and, depending on what was the last Amazon account I had open, (my browser reopens in that name), I tag the post, that’s why I can tag more….I know I have mathematically more than other’s as I am a small publisher . After reading emails from Jim, and yourself, and posts about me, I stopped putting up any titles, and told Todd I would stop.
I also told him I’d keep tagging, which I do. I’ve gone to great length helping people on this blog with publishing and marketing issues, in small ways, (reviewing their books), and large ways too.
But I’m at the end, no more from me books from me, (I’ll keep tagging anyway as I promised anyway).
I just don’t have the will power to fight or get into long discussions about fairness, etc.
Counting tags is an easy way to make an assumption on what I have brought to the table, and without me listing each Amazon account I can’t prove much, except to say that each person today who posted saw their count go up by at least one, right after posting, as I tagged each of their tags right after.
So, if you feel the need to untag me, you must.
I’m of course sorry about that, it won’t help me, it will even hurt my position somewhat, I don’t understand it, going out of your way to do something to hurt someone, doing something – taking time from your life to do something which will not even help you, that is the sort of spirit I don’t understand.
If you read all my posts, you will see I spent time and effort helping and offering help and advice, but I’d never take time from my life, to go out of my way to try hurt someone and even a score. A tag score of all things.
So, here I am, I promised Todd to not add more books, but I’d keep tagging on this system for new books. My email is there for anyone to see, if anyone still wants to do the review thing, (and authors, you NEED to get those reviews done too! ), please contact me.
And Kevin, if you want to spend the time doing a negative, or doing a positive, it’s your choice. If you’ll sleep better untagging me tonight, well, I don’t want you to sleep badly, so you do what you feel is what is the right thing, and ‘even the tag score’.
And after all this Kevin, if you had a publishing question, or book marketing question, or if it was in my power to assist you, I still would. That’s my way of life, and I’m sticking to it. I have been in publishing for a long time. Having a free consultant with my knowledge could be very useful.
So Kevin, I really, heart-fully wish you, and all authors success.
So, apart from me tagging still, you won’t hear from me.
Nice knowing you all, good luck!
Walter

Hi, all! New to this. My book was added this past weekend. Thus far i’ve tagged Sept and August and am part way through the July tagyourit list. Working my way backward through the months, trying to chew through a chunk every day or so.
Oldies – please don’t forget us September newbies in need of tagging sustenance. I do see some tags on my book though that I can attribute to here – lots of thanks for those! Eagerly anticipating next meal.
This is such a great idea and interesting too actually. I’ve seen some really clever tags and interesting books and covers. We have quite a diverse spectrum of creative works.

TMBOA Authors – Please see the new post regarding book submission policy change for the site. Click here!
September 17, 2009 at 1:41 am
Walter,
Like you, I have pretty much said all I intend to about this situation. The crux of the matter is that the name of this site is ‘Tag My Book On Amazon’ not review my book or any of the other stuff you have mentioned.
As I said before, you may be a nice guy and very supportive of indie authors. But you still don’t get it, do you? You have submitted 41 books with the intentions of submitting God knows how many more. At best you have claimed to tag our books no more than twice. Do the math? How is tagging an endless parade of books that you submit going to help us if the authors of those books are not participating in tagging our books in return?
If I use a 1 to 1 corellation, this means that even if you tag every book on this site two times, each one of our tags are missing 39 potential tag scores. In what universe do you think that’s fair? Even if you try to make it up to us by reviewing our books, it cannot fill the vacuum of those missing tags, which ultimately means that are books are not moving up in the Amazon tag rankings.
Now put the shoe on the other foot, if the authors you represent were participating members of this site, our tag scores would be much higher.
It may sound mean, but I’m not tagging books in exchange for book reviews. And I highly doubt anyone else here is either. My only real regret in this whole matter is that none of the books you submitted were written by you. I would happily and gratefully tag your books.
But you can’t seriously think that I or the other authors of this site are happy to know that the authors of the books you submitted are Missing In Action.
I know you are upset. But the truth is it is better this practice come to a stop now. Behavior like this is not only hurting me, but in actuality it is hurting this site. I know many authors who are on the fence about joining this site and won’t do so because they feel they won’t get a fair trade.
In conclusion I would love for you to come clean and ask yourself at what point were you going to stop submitting books? After 50 books? 60? 100? 200? Can’t you see the pattern? I could easily start submitting the books of my author friends to this site. But to me that is unfair. if my author friends want tags, they need to particpate in the tag exchange. If not, then their books should not be listed here on this site.
It’s really sad that you don’t understand what I am saying and can only see your side of the matter. But that’s the biggest problem I have with the entire situation. You have decided that you are the victim in this situation not the poor authors who are lamenting the fact that their books haven’t been tagged in 2 or more months.
I’ve done my best to explain the situation. But I’m not surprised to hear that I’m the bad guy. I thought I was the one who was simply saying out loud what everyone is thinking.

September 17, 2009 at 1:47 am
My, my, my. I’ve been following the Walter/Kevis back and forth telling myself to stay out of it. Maybe it was Walter calling Kevis Kevin that pushed me over the edge. I did the Amazon profile thing for Walter and discovered that, though I had dutifully tagged most if not all of the books listed as Walter’s 62 tags, my books were not on his list as tagged.
I read the explanation given for that and deem it pretty lame. Why would you use “other’s” accounts which now must be kept secret to tag our books? What would have been wrong with using your own account?
I’ve personally benefited with high tagging numbers in several categories and am happy to reciprocate to all other writers; it’s only fair. But I really don’t like to be taken advantage of and, like my Irish Realtor protagonist, Regan, I’m not good at staying out of things when I feel someone isn’t playing by the rules and is taking advantage of most people’s sense of far play.
As soon as I post this I’ll probably feel petty. Yet, if I don’t, I’ll feel used and that’s another thing that is upsetting about this…Walter, who said it was OK to make me feel uncomfortable because you wanted a different set of rules to apply to you?

Ariana’s Pride
Ariana’s Pride is an historical romance set during the Wars of the Roses. The story commences shortly after the Battle of Barnet where Warwick The Kingmaker was killed and Edward IV has just taken his throne back from the mad king, Henry VI. This one decisive battle affected the lives and attitudes of Ariana and Jeremy.
Ariana Devoe is the willful and arrogant daughter of Earl William. What happens when she finds that she has lost her home and family? Will she lose her heart, too, as she struggles to reach the elderly Baron to whom her father has promised her? Or will she throw away her chance to avenge her father’s death and regain her titles and estates to be with the dashing Jeremy?
Jeremy Gowen has lived most of his life in the Earl’s stables, but does not intend to end his days there. Aided by the stablemaster, once a soldier in the King’s service, Jeremy secretly learns horsemanship and sword fighting.
After the attack on her father’s castle, Jeremy finds Lady Ariana, lost and alone. He promises to take her to the Baron, but as their journey progresses, he is no longer willing to turn the woman he loves over to another man. Jeremy holds the secret which could make Ariana his, but he wants her to love him for his own sake.

Nancy says: “I read the explanation given for that and deem it pretty lame. Why would you use “other’s” accounts which now must be kept secret to tag our books? What would have been wrong with using your own account?”
Right on, Nancy. This is the key point that caused me to say something about the matter. Walter took a defensive tone with another author about revealing his tags. I, too, had checked Walter’s profile several days ago and realized that he was not tagging books with his account.
Everyone who regular participates on this site, should have known before they signed up that Todd has a way of checking to see who is tagging books and who is not. If he didn’t, it would create a huge problem.
This means that Todd has to base his information off of your Amazon profile. This is why I always tag with the same account. If I happen to make a mistake and tag books with another account, I will go back and use my primary account to retag those books so that Todd can see that I am tagging books.
As frequently as Walter has been submitting books, one would imagine that he knows that Todd is double-checking to make sure that everyone is tagging. How can he think that using multiple accounts to tag books was helping his cause?
This makes me question if he really was tagging as many books as he boasts. Sorry to say, I think the multiple tag excuse is just that–a lame excuse.
Anyway, I am happy to know that Todd has changed the rules about book submission. Maybe this is the start of a brand new era where every participating author on this site finally gets their due.

3 Stars: Good Book with some issues/problems that I recommend with only slight hesitation.
2 Stars: Poor Book with some redeeming qualities
1 Star: Very Poor Book

I hope we can move on now and get about the business at hand, which is helping each other tag our books. Todd has stated a new policy. It’s a good one, it’s just too bad that he was forced to have to do it.
If we keep an eye on newer posters and maybe nudge them a bit if we see they’re not tagging, hopefully we won’t get into such a turmoil again.
Tagging doesn’t take that much time if you do it regularly. When I joined in July, I spent hours tagging every book for the past year. I know most people don’t have that much time, but it’s certainly not unreasonable for a newbie to tag somes books every day for a month, let’s say. Or maybe go backwards one month. Whatever. If everyone cooperates for the good of all, we all win.
Just be glad I’m not going to bore you with Game Theory!

Title: Blue Bells of Scotland
Back Blurb: Shawn Kleiner has it all: money, fame, a skyrocketing career as an international musical phenomenon, his beautiful girlfriend Amy, and all the women he wants– until the night Amy has enough and leaves him stranded in a Scottish castle tower.
He wakes up to find himself mistaken for Niall Campbell, medieval Highland warrior. Soon after, he is sent shimmying down a wind-torn castle wall into a dangerous cross country trek with Niall’s tempting, but knife-wielding fiancee. They are pursued by English soldiers and a Scottish traitor who want Niall dead.
Thrown forward in time, Niall learns history’s horrifying account of his own death, and of the Scots’ slaughter at Bannockburn. Undaunted, he navigates the roiled waters of Shawn’s life– pregnant girlfriend, amorous fans, enemies, and gambling debts— seeking a way to leap back across time to save his people, especially his beloved Allene. His growing fondness for Shawn’s life brings him face to face with his own weakness and teaches him the true meaning of faith.
Blue Bells of Scotland is both a historical adventure and a tale of redemption that will be remembered long after the last page has been turned.

Since we had the discussion about non-taggers, my tag count has gone up by only two, so please indulge me if I list mine again.

Glimpes 2: (it could happen to you!)
Do you believe in the paranormal ? Ghosts, hauntings, angels, demons, esp, premonitions, past lives, reincarnation, soul mates, predictive dreams?
If not, you just might change your mind after reading 90 true tales from folks in countries around the world. Most of them never figured they’d believe either – until it happened to them – and it can happen to you too, when you least expect it.

Bought one new book, though, and sampled some others.
This is good for me! I can find new books to review for my blog. LOL
September 18, 2009 at 2:06 am
Redadept is right. Tagging gives you a chance to look at a lot of books that you might not see otherwise. An added fringe benefit.
September 18, 2009 at 2:11 am
Hi Everyone,
I’m tagging now as they come to my email box. I find it easier to get to, simply because this page is huge and it’s faster than scrolling to the bottom of the page to find the new posts. Is there a way to have the newer posts show up top?
And I want to say thank you to all of you who are tagging my book.
Here it is again:

Good Morning,
I’ve been tagging everything that has shown up in my mail box, as well. This past week has been a busy one!
Just a note to some authors out there, I do take the extra time to see if your book has been published in various forms and tag those versions, too.
Todd, thanks for the changes!
September 18, 2009 at 12:07 pm
It has been a long time since I’ve posted my ‘romantic suspense’ for tagging. I wonder if I may humbly resubmit it for easier email access…

It’s certainly easier to tag them as they are emailed, that’s for sure.
I’m up to date, but my Thriller tag is still low any help would be great. Kevis, if you check maybe I have two profiles that I”m not aware of. I have an author profile and a personal profile. So I’m never sure which profile but I know I gave done everything on the US site and will work on the UK this weekend. I also shelved all the books on Goodreads.com as well.

Dear Site Manager:
Please remove my posts from this site. In the process of becoming more familiar with what happens here, I question the ethics of this site’s policies. I feel this site should be confined to readers who have purchased books or who are willing to declare that they have read a substantial amount of the book they are tagging.
September 18, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Harden, that’s your decision, but I respectfully disagree for two reasons:
1. Readers have no reason to visit this site, so they won’t. It’s for authors.
2. Tagging a book is not the same as reviewing a book, where the reviewer is obligated to have read it. Tagging a book does not put some kind of seal of approval on a book, it just helps to move a book up in search results.
I have to add that I have read several books on marketing for self-published books, and every one of them recommends that authors aggressively try to get tags. As long as the tags are appropriate for the book, I see nothing wrong with the practice.
September 18, 2009 at 5:47 pm
I agree about the “fringe benefit” of tagging–I’ve bought several mysteries by our authors on Amazon and they’ve been WONDERFUL!
Sandy
September 18, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Harden,
I agree with Jim. Tagging is not the same thing as reviewing. Tagging serves the function of classifying a book to a particular genre. On Amazon, these genres are linked to communities and product screens. The whole point of tagging is to introduce your book to the community of the genre which tag is featured on your sales page. You are not making a judgment call on a book by tagging a book.
For instance, I do not read gay fiction. This does not mean that 1) I dislike gay people 2) that a particular gay book is not well written #) has no artistic merit
However, I am happy to click on any tag that says the book is gay fiction, because by tagging the book, I am helping readers flooking for gay fiction to discover this book.
Before you decide to have Todd remove your books, you might want to educate yourself first about what ‘tagging’ really is. Like you, I oppose any form of unethical book promotion. Having people who have never read your book tag it, is not unethicial. To the contrary, it’s probably the most ethical form of book promotion there is since unbiased third parties are helping to alert new readers about a particular kind of book that they might not otherwise have known about.
With that said, I have tagged all of the new book submissions and happy to say that I double-checked to make sure that I got you seasoned taggers already.
September 18, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Harden,
When I started this site, I wanted to ensure that the tags folks used were obvious from the books description in order to categorize it appropriately and allow people to find these books more easily in the over 8 million on amazon. I do not accept tags like “awesome book” “recommended” etc. because without reading it, there is no way to know if this is the case. However, one can understand from the books description if it is a fantasy book, young adult, etc. This is why I require a submission to also have a description of the book. Also, Amazon categories books all of the time – For example, my book is catagorized as:
Children’s Chapter Books > Literature > Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths > Multicultural
I don’t know for sure, but I’m guessing no one at Amazon read my book. They use key word searches and automation to do this. This is really an effort to make it easier for folks to find books on Amazon. Once at your books page, the reader still has to read reviews and decide whether or not they want to purchase.
Reviews are very different.
I do not trade reviews – I only review books I have read from cover to cover. I also only give honest reviews (which has caused me heartache on more than on one occasion).
From the “limitations” section on the “submit your book page”:
**************
Limitations
Your requested tags must be obvious from the book’s description. So if your description clearly describes a fantasy book, then suggesting “fantasy” as a tag is appropriate. However, tags like “great read”, “recommended”, etc. are not allowed on this site. Only those who have read your book can make this determination. So your tags must clearly be determined by the description or I will edit out them out.
********************
Let me know if you would like your submission to remain.
September 18, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Todd,
I just want to say that I feel bad that you have to deal with this recent upheaval spilling all over your site. You’ve put together a valuable service for all of us. I know you put a lot of time into keeping things running smoothly for all of us. Unfortunately, you probably don’t get a lot of thanks and you occasionally have to put up with our childishness.
On that note, I simply want to say thank you for all you do. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put in to this site. Also, thank you to all the authors here who have taken time out of their days to tag my books.
As for the rest of the chaos going on, I’m choosing to ignore it.
Have a good evening everyone.
September 18, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Hey Todd,
I have to agree whole heartedly with Darcia. I may be new here, but I too believe you have created something invaluable and I for one am so happy that such a service is available and then for it to be free to boot! Incredible. So, Thank you from the new kid on the block.
Also, I would like to add my thanks as Darcia did to all the authors who have tagged me. I’m working on getting to everyone.

Besserwisser
A Novel
It’s 1990, the Berlin Wall’s fallen and American slacker Gordy Ford arrives in Munich with barely a roof over his head. Hoping to impress Jane, a hip older German, Gordy carries on a half-baked charade that he’s a top Fulbright scholar. Soon Gordy and his long-lost expat pal Tad stumble onto a historical discovery that seems to invoke the wrath of a shady Neo-Nazi wannabe, Hugo, not to mention the recently liberated Russian mafia. But what are they all really after? Each carry secrets and will have to come clean — even when the truth wreaks havoc on guarded love and brittle dreams.
Besserwisser (German for “upstart know-it-alls”) offers dark humor, a rowdy plot and imposters exposed despite their best efforts. It also comes from the heart, since I once was (really was) a Fulbright Research Fellow in Munich.

The “End of Days” Cycle
Do you know what the prophets told us about the end of the world, or why they told us about it? They actually didn’t tell us about the “end of the world,” or even the “end of the world as we know it.” The world will change, just like they said it would, and those who know what to expect are going to be the ones who inherit a new generation of humanity. The prophets didn’t mention anything about a miraculous being that would save everyone who believed in miraculous beings. What they told us includes a leader of humanity, anointed by God. But he’s not going to whisk anyone away to the safety of Heaven during the destructive events. Instead, he’s going to suffer at the hands of humanity for being who he is, and then lead the way for those who want to survive.
Of course you knew that the world would be destroyed by fire. Everyone who was raised in a religious home knows that. But do you know what will cause that fire? Did you know that the prophets told us that pollution would be the cause? Can you think of any kind of pollutant that could cause the earth to burn? Could “global warming” be what the prophets were warning us about?
This book is about prophecy of the Old Testament. It includes the primary prophecies and how they are relevant today, even though they were written thousands of years ago and most are thought to have been fulfilled previously. Also included is the reasoning behind the birth of the religions we have today, and how they were predicted by the prophets. This book is not a religious book, because no particular religious beliefs are followed as many misunderstandings that that have been made by various religions of our world are untangled.

Well guys I’ve been following along in discussion about who’s tagging who,or not! I have seen numerous of you post that you are now caught up with tagging,even going back in the archives to us “older” members here on the site. However comma! I have only seen two (2) additional tags on my books. I’m wondering if perhaps we have a systemic problem occuring? I know that Todd works incessantly trying to ensure that the site is running properly. And to ensure that fairness is being observed. I have personally come on the site once or twice a month since it’s inception and tried to make sure that tag everyone’s book and for those who have many tags listed I click on 7 or 8 of them,but for sure if you only have three,I do click all of them. Regardless of the genre or type of book,in the hopes that I am helping a fellow indie author. Even if I don’t personally like the subject matter of the book. I know full well that I have missed someones book(s) along the way. If I knew which ones I would go back and tag them. Hopefully we will hit apon a solution or a system which will work to all of our benefit. Jacamo

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted the 41 of you who have books in the September 2009 list to know that I have tagged each of you, including the half a dozen or so that I had already tagged because of a request through my e-mail. I was reprimanded for listing all those names by someone whose name now escapes me, so I’ll just leave it at that. You know who you are, so I’ll just say please return the favor for my book, Becoming Alice, by going to:

Hello Jim,
When I check the tags on my amazon page, I click on WWII, then Products, and I see my place and number in that category. A picture of my book pops up and at the top where thenumber is, at the left of that, I see (Undo). None of the other books seem to have that word there. How come? Do you know?

“My first book “A Hard Place/A Sergeants Tale was listed on TMBOA Aug 2008
The second “Blademaster Of Norda” in July 2009″
Hi Jacamo,
The archives only go back to September 2008 which is why I missed your first one. I’ve been all through the July 2009 listings and I do not see your second book there at all on TMBOA.
Maybe it’s because I only tag from the months once they have been officially posted – I do not tag from emails – that I have somehow missed your second book but again, I did not see it listed in the July area. Something you might want to check into as I’m sure I’m not the only one who only tags by the month?
Best,
Paige

Is it just me, or has the area listing tags for our books changed, so that it no longer shows how many “hits” each tag has gotten? I wonder if this is temporary or permanent, and what it means as far as our tagging efforts?
September 21, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Well, I checked again and the tags were back, along with the number of hits. My bad. (But I swear they weren’t there a minute ago, on anyone’s page!)

Hey, Leann! Something must have happened temporarily at Amazon. I just had the same missing tags section experience a few minutes ago also. Now the section is back.

I’m not seeing any tags on any books. Wonder where they all went!
September 21, 2009 at 8:14 pm
I’m still seeing tags on Amazon.

September 21, 2009 at 8:38 pm
I’m seeing them now, but they just came back a few minutes ago.
September 21, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Hey Regina – found them (they were caught in a “pending” folder) – they should be there now…
September 21, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Welcome, Stan and E.J. In return for the tags you’ll receive, please tag other books posted here. Go back as far as you have time to do, and keeping up with future submissions for a while is encouraged.
September 21, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Thanks Todd. I see my listmania post in the listing now.
Thanks again – Regina

Hi, all! Juand i’m now wondering if that is why folks are not seeing their book with as many tags as they’d think they should have if everyone was tagging.
About 30 minutes ago, my friend tagged my book and saw the count on my first tag go from 36 to 37. I went to the page just after she did it and saw count as 36 (which it had been at least since yesterday). She verified that the boxes were checked.
Now 30 minutes later, I still don’t see the extra tag.
So, i’m wondering if some of our tags are showing to us when we tagged them, but then ending up somewhere in the twilight zone.
September 22, 2009 at 12:08 am
Sorry about the unfinished sentence at the beginning of the post above. I hit submit accidently before finishing what I was fixing. I was just wondering if today’s tagging mystery is connected to the other mysterious tagging occurence my friend andI just experienced.
September 22, 2009 at 12:28 am
Interesting question Regina. That might explain how some of our tags numbers haven’t changed in weeks.
Todd – you’re our local expert. Do you have any insight?
September 22, 2009 at 12:47 am
My tags have increased over the last few days. I don’t know if they’re all showing now, but they’ve been moving.
September 22, 2009 at 12:59 am
Mine have gone up also over the past week. Just wondering if those tags are by folks who tagged at a time when there was no issue and other tags didn’t make it when there perhaps was one. Would be nice if I could see who has tagged my book and when to kind of do an informal experiment/analysis.
September 22, 2009 at 1:20 am
Hopefully, Rod Serling will appear soon and explain everything.
September 22, 2009 at 1:21 am
Rod is probably equally confused!
September 22, 2009 at 1:28 am
“There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.”
You’re right, Rod wouldn’t be much help. Or perhaps he would.
September 22, 2009 at 4:11 pm
I’ve noticed Amazon no longer allows me to manage my own tags anymore. Is it just me or does anyone else have this problem…?
September 22, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I hadn’t checked in a while, DB, but you’re right – I no longer have the link to manage my tags.
I had been frustrated before because several months ago I had clicked on that and suggested several tags for my three books (this is something separate from the tags we all click here).
It took about two months before my requested tags were processed. Amazon never responded to my inquiries about why it was taking so long, but they just hung in limbo forever. The last time I checked, some of my suggested tags were processed and some were not.
Now that link is gone altogether.
September 22, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Definitely something going on at Amazon. For 2-3 weeks, Kindle books did not have the “Also available in” links, but they’re back now.
September 22, 2009 at 6:58 pm
I hope theyre not removing that option. Managing tags was awesome.
September 22, 2009 at 10:33 pm
What tags link are you guys talking about? Is it the ‘your search suggestions’ link on your my amazon.com page? If so, I get 404 not found error when I click on it. I submitted a ticket about it with Amazon yesterday.
BTW, my friend logged into Amazon today and she saw all the tags she checked yesterday still checked and with correct count. But, when she logged back out of her account and re-pulled up my book, the count was 1 less for each of the tags she tagged. Thought that was kind of odd. Maybe, that’s its normal behavior and I never paid that close attention.
September 22, 2009 at 11:04 pm
I’m not clear on managing tags either. Could someone explain it simply?

Name of Book: The Middle Theory: A Guide to Balance
There is a place of balance,
a place of peace and happiness in all things.
~The Middle Theory
In The Middle Theory, an inspired book refined during nine eventful years, Deshon Fox reveals a powerful new philosophy based on the simple, but profound idea that balance is the guiding principle of all that supports life and progress. This philosophy, as rational as it is spiritual, affirms our common spiritual heritage, maps a straight path to enlightenment, and outlines practical approaches for fostering stable, meaningful relationships.
Fox’s lucid writing, his penetrating insights into the nature of balance as a corrective agent in our lives, is both timely and inspiring. Optimistically, he asserts that we can transform ourselves and our world through mindfulness, prayer, and adherence to universal spiritual principles. The Middle Theory’s unique philosophy— reasoned and refreshingly sensible—empowers us to consistently choose the noble path that benefits us and others. The net result is not only personal happiness, but a life that contributes to the betterment of humanity.

“Iron Desire: The Legacy of Notre Dame Football Coach Frank Leahy”
In the world of football, Frank Leahy was as important as Beethoven to music, Shakespeare to dramatic poetry, Michelangelo to sculpture. Greatness was not thrust upon Frank. He achieved it through hard work and determination. But, first, he had to have the makings. From those makings, he was capable of going to town. By applying his formula for success, nothing could have kept him from achieving the heights he reached.
The life story of Notre Dame football coach, Frank Leahy, is one of fiery inspiration, humor, and unwavering determination. From the family farm, to one of Knute Rockne’s fighting Irish, to head football coach at the golden dome, Leahy’s philosophy and antics, both on and off the field, illustrate a model for greatness and the fantastic stuff of legends.

Jim, Regina, DB, others…
Regarding the “manage my tags” link on Amazon. Seems like they are always moving things around on Amazon (blogs, etc.). I guess that’s good in that they are always evolving, but it can be a bit frustrating to find things.
One way to get back to the “manage my tags” link is: 1) log on to your account on Amazon 2) There should be an option called “your communities” on the initial log in page (if you can’t find it, hold down the ctrl key and f at the same time – this will bring up a search box and type in “your communities” and you’ll see it highlighted on the page 3) click on the “your communities” link 4) at the top there should be an option “manage your tags” (again if you can’t find it, use the ctrl f trick again and type “manage my tags”.
The other way to get to this section is by going to “your profile” and in the “frequently used tags” section of your profile on the lower left hand side of the page – clicking “see all tags”.
Hope this helps!!

E.J., you can post your book link and requested tags right here any time. There are no hard rules about how many books you should tag, but some people do go back in the archives to July 2008. The problem we’ve had is that conscientious taggers aren’t getting nearly as many tags as they’re giving. This caused a lot of discussion on this forum recently, as it became apparent that way too many authors were expecting something for nothing. Todd is now deleting posts from authors who are not tagging anyone else’s books.
How many books should you tag? That’s up to you.

Mirror Mirror Seven Years Bad Luck
Spring finds more than peace and solitude when she flees to her grandparent’s estate home in Maine. Her decaying marriage has consumed her thoughts, leaving her feeling vulnerable with little self esteem. She discovers the old antique mirror stored in the creepy shed, which reveals that it holds more than just her simple reflection. The visions of an old woman in the mirror frighten her, and she wrongfully believes it could have something to do with her deceased grandmother’s psychic ability coming back to haunt her. Her grandmother warned her that her own vainness would be her downfall; her words meant little, until she is morphed into another dimension. Smashing the mirror in a rage, takes the superstition seven years bad luck to whole new level. The mirror world is a cold, harsh place, and having a sentence there, will be a living hell, unless she can find another way to escape. Her only hope is her twin sister. Her twin sister has marriage woes of own, which lead to her murdering her husband in a very unique way. She does manage to save her sister from the mirror world, but the cost is exchanging places with her. Every mirror is a two way mirror to this secret world, and they observe us and wait for us. The guardian of the mirror world Alvaro is a strong presence, and it’s hard to decide if he is friend or foe. The mirror world makes one reflect their inner beauty, and takes you to hidden deep dark crystal caverns, where ones outward appearance has little value.

From 8:00 a.m. till 10:14 p.m. I have tagged 310 books on this page. You can check it on my Amazon Profile (S. Kapuscinski, Stan Law is my pen-name). That’s about 2/3 through all the books to-date. Since yesterday, I have not seen a SINGLE tag added to any of my books. Is this system based on mutual trust? I’d appreciate some sort of an explanation. From anyone?
September 25, 2009 at 2:28 am
Stan, thanks for the tags. I’ve tagged your three books, and I’m sure that others will too. But yes, we’ve had issues with some people expecting something for nothing. Fortunately we do have a number of conscientious taggers on here. Todd has started deleting the posts of people who aren’t tagging, and hopefully others will get the message. It’s frustrating, I know.

My ebook is titled [url=http://www.amazon.com/Simple-Freedoms-ebook/dp/B002P3LB2G]Simple Freedoms.[/url] It is the first of a BDSM erotica anthology. The story follows a woman as she journeys into the darker pleasures afforded those who cast off societies norms. She finds love and true freedom, in giving up control.
If it could be tagged with bdsm, erotica, and novella, that would be great. I will start tagging others right now.

Hi Stan,
I can’t speak for everyone but personally I only tag once a month from the post that it is put together from all the emails. That is all my schedule allows but I make sure it gets done so if I haven’t already tagged you, then I will as soon as your book makes it to the listing. I’m sure there are others that do the same thing.
From my tags it seems to me that there are only around 50 of us that do this. Granted 50 is better than nothing but I haven’t seen my tags move in over a month so I’m assuming I’m maxed out as far as the current active users of this system go.

The Gate – Things my Mother told me.
A fictional biography of an eighty-year old women spending the last years of her life at the Institute of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The problems she must face are as different as they are unexpected from anything one can imagine in the ‘outside’ world, not the least of which is her husband’s gradual deterioration under the unforgiving progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Surprisingly, the book is spiced with abundant humour….

Paige, based on my own book, not counting the tags I’ve received from family and friends, I’m seeing only about 25-30 tags from my posts on Tag my Book. Unfortunately, because of lack of tagging by many of those who post their books here, it forces you to post multiple times to get any more tags.
And it does gripe me that too many people post their books here, spend a few minutes tagging books, and think they’re done.

Enigma of the Second Coming
From her sanctuary in the Canadian Science Center high in the Yukon, Heidi is faced with two apparently separate mysteries. The world is in upheaval, tectonic plates are shifting, planets are realigning. And then there is the Enigma that holds the key to the higher affinity of the universe.
A love story, visionary fiction, mysticism, theology and a personal journey, Stan Law’s Enigma of the Second Coming offers a world in which the reality of the moon, a remote planet or even a star system light years away is no further distant than the beautiful girl next door. Both are seemingly unattainable, yet both assume reality behind closed eyes.

Once more, many thanks to a number of you who have been kind enough to write, assuring me of your tagging generosity, and offering words of cheer at my, hopefully temporary, disappointment.
Things are beginning to move. Tags on my books (already) range from 10 to 18. I’m a long way from 40s and 50s+ sported by some of you. Regrettably I could not tag amazon.co.uk. Also, some URLs provided were inaccessible. I managed to hit 434 amazon.com URLs and click the tags requested. 434÷7 (books I posted), should result in approx. 62×2 of 3 tags per each of my books. I’m about 1/6th way there!
Next, listmania. Any advise? I have no idea how to start…
Good luck, all,
Stan

PS. to my thanks above.
A number of you confess to being members of Goodreads. Well, so am I, and at present I am giving away 5 copies of the Headless World. If anyone of you likes to write very flattering reviews (!), you are welcome to participate. You’ll find me at:

I’m also giving away copies of two my children’s/YA books on Goodreads and also on LibraryThing. It’s a fun way to “spread the word.”

If you have kids, or grandkids, or nieces, nephews (you get the picture), I highly recommend Sandra’s books!

Thanks, Darcia
And I strongly recommend Darcia’s mysteries! I read Hit List a while back and it’s one of the best mysteries I’ve ever read. If I could buy only one book and had to choose between famous authors such as James Patterson and Patricia Cornwell, I would actually choose one of Darcia’s books.

I agree with Darcia. Sandra’s books teach great life lessons without getting kids to roll their eyes.

Title: LYCANSTEIN
LYCANSTEIN is the result of a scientist’s obsession to play GOD. When combining the DNA of multiple living organisms, sometimes the combination can create a “new” life form. Or it can over develop the natural abilities of ancient ones. These experiments can become uncontrollable and spawn horrors from our darkest nightmares. While searching for cures to terminal diseases, Dr. Tim Lycan, with a DNA sample from a prehistoric archeological find, starts a chain of events that could destroy mankind.
