Where is my book?

[P.J.]

Hello, I put my book 'Echoes' into your system, but whenever I ask to look for it, it tells me I and my book don't exist...Until I put the isbn in and hey presto - there we are!!
I want people to be able to find me to read my work - why is this happening? And how can it be changed please.
All help deeply appreciated as I am a writer, not computer expert!!!

What are you attempting to search for?

Echoes is a pretty popular word for books - but when I searched "echoes roscoe" I was able to find the book:

"Echoes" all by itself in search is going to return way too many books with an 89 page list. No good way around that unless author also specified in search.

Book found if you search "Echoes / P.J.", "Echoes P.J.", "Echoes Roscoe" or "Echoes / Roscoe"

One difference in author spelling on book cover and on goodreads is period after the "J" — goodreads policy so that it's standard for all puts a period after every initial and no spaces between initials. So searching for "Echoes / p.j" won't find nor will "echoes p.j"

Capitalization in searches doesn't matter.

Since this seems to be an issue with the site search, rather than anything librarians can fix. I am closing this thread.
