If you go to Amazon.com you can sign up for an email alert when an author publishes new work. It doesn’t seem to be available on other sites, but books will usually come out on all sites simultaneously.
To sign up:
1. Log in to your Amazon.com account. You can sign up just with your email and password if you use another site – you don’t need to input your payment details again.
2. Go to the author’s Amazon.com page (this may show up in a search for the author’s name – if not search for one of their books and click on their name instead of the title).
3. Look for the words ‘Stay Up To Date’ in orange at the top right of the page.
4. Under this is a link that says ‘E-mail me when there are new releases by [Author Name]‘. Click on that.
5. The link will be replaced by the words ‘You are now subscribed to new release e-mails for [Author Name]‘ in green. These emails will come to the email you log in with.
6. While you’re there, click the orange button just above this to ‘Like’ the author.
Off to do this for my favourite authors…
