Was it a mistake putting Amanda Hocking in my bio??

I was just recently accepted to have my first book featured on two author blogs.  I'm so excited!  One of them I will be able to do an interview and though everyone who knows me, knows I don't have much difficulty finding a subject to talk about- when it comes to talking about me I shut down!  Ouch!  Thankfully it's all internet based and I'm not standing in front of a camera.  That would be hilarious!  DUH..uh...uh..um..ya it wouldn't be pretty.  That brings me to the subject of my previous post on Amazon KDP Select.  I had a lot of response on that.  Some good...some not so.  I understand not all authors will agree-but I'll say it once again-this blog is only based on My opinion and nothing more.  Take what I say with a grain of salt- I'm no expert.  I spend hours researching, studying and planning before I make any decision.  I did no different when I made the choice to put my ebook exclusively on Amazon.  I wouldn't change a thing.  It was a good opportunity, but it just wasn't successful for me.  Again maybe because my book falls into a genre with literally thousands of competing authors, mine falls to the bottom and is ignored.  Or maybe because I was stupid and put a blurb on my bio about another one time "indie" author named Amanda Hocking- I put the spotlight on my book saying..."DON'T BUY..because I'm not a best selling author.  No I'm not...YET- but I'm determined to be one someday.  I've put a lot of time and devotion into my books and all I want is for them to be successful.  Until then I think I will remove that little paragraph about Ms. Hocking.  Not that I still don't respect and admire her, but the fact is it might be best not to advertise I'm just starting out as author.  Nora Roberts started once, as did Danielle Steele and even the new Best Seller E L James- but I doubt they were unknown for long.  My day will come..with or without a traditional publisher.
