Hello!

It has been brought to my attention that my book and author profile are difficult to find using the search feature. I realized that my author name must be searched exactly as it's listed, with periods separating the first two initials (ex: J.L. Durfey) or nothing comes up. Is there some way that both my profile and novel can be made searchable by JL Durfey, or jl durfey as well? I'm not certain most readers would even consider having to type it verbatim in order to find my profile or book.
Thank you!

Lobstergirl When I searched on "Durfey" alone, your book came up first.
