Looks like 'ol Jose will indeed be the big player in Maria heading north. Models overnight show he is sticking around long enough to open the door for her possible recurve (two lows attract). Just a few ensembles have her bounce west. Still an outside chance... but chances decreasing each model run. Currently Maria is back to major hurricane just skirting north DR with the big stuff. May skirt to the north of Turks/Caicos too. Will keep watching. Further strengthening possible as her eye has enlarged and structure remains intact. The damage coming in from PR is heartbreaking. Thoughts and prayers to all those effected. www.spaghettimodels.com / Mikes Weather Page APP

Neat! Great picture! Now, you need to translate all your books into Japanese!

I just posted a review of your book! (;>)

Customer Review
5.0 out of 5 stars

Beautifully written . . .
By Theodore J. Cohen on September 21, 2017
Format: Paperback
These are lovely poems, not about love in the sense most people think of the emotion, but rather, about love between soulmates . . . something, perhaps, more difficult to capture and articulate. Ms. Hockaday truly understands and captures the essence of these feelings, and for that, the reader is greatly enriched.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a candid review. The opinions are my own.

BTW, Kimberly, I love the cover of your new book.

Kimberly,

I noticed that your book is selling retail for $6.99. This means that with your author's discount on CreateSpace, you should be able to purchase copies for half that price (roughly; plus shipping). You are aware of that, right?

Oh wait...

Speaking of English, on the Japanese Platform, you have to look for your books under "foreign language."

Here we are in Japan:

Booyah!

I had to call Author Central, and an agent kindly helped me. The Japan platform is separate from the others, which makes it difficult to work with. I'm not going with the Full Monte here (videos, etc.). Enough is enough.

I'm still waiting for the e-mail from Japan re verification. I guess it's coming via Pony Express.

I've had all but Japan set up for years...now, am attempting to do the latter. Had to establish an Amazon account in Japan, and then, start to identify my books. After the first one, they stopped and said they had sent me an e-mail to verify my account. Still have no received it. Not sure I want to screw around with a page for my pen name. Sometimes, the game isn't worth the candle. And yes, everything I do is in English, of course.

Here's a good article on optimizing your Author Central pages internationally:

They don't offer that option on the UK site...I just looked again at my UK Author Central page. Nada. Zip. Nothing! Booooooo!

The entire island of Puerto Rico is without power.

Maria Winds up to 165mph and pressure dropping. Pinhole eyewall. Nearing VI/PR. www.spaghettimodels.com / Mikes Weather Page APP

Maria is back to Cat 5 160mph after hitting Dominica yesterday. VI/PR look to still be in her direct path. Modeling becoming more confident on Jose sticking around long enough to pull Maria north... east of the US mainland. Still many days away to be sure but at least its a trend keeping her over the Atlantic. I would keep watching... just not worrying (mainland that is). Eastern Bahamas will be close. Jose slowly losing steam. TS Watches/Warnings up for the NE. Expected to run into a high and bounce back south. The story of his life. He likes to go in circles. www.spaghettimodels.com / Mikes Weather Page APP

Incredible rapid intensification with Maria... now a Cat 5 with 160mph winds. www.spaghettimodels.com / Mikes Weather Page APP
