H.A. Ryans | 2 comments I am a debut indie author and my book is showing up when I put the ISBN number into the search bar but doesn't come up when i search for the title or the Author's name. I haven't been able to "claim" the book yet (I don't have a website so I am working on that) but I still want the book to be searchable to ARC readers can put in their reviews. Any help would be appreciated.

H.A. Ryans | 2 comments I am sorry, I didn't know if this was a general issue or if it was specific to me so I didn't include title and ISBN, lesson learned. It is Revelations by HA Ryans, and I am fine looking it up by ISBN number but readers won't typically know to do that. As of today it is searchable by title and author so it appears to have corrected itself. Thank you for your comment! Its been on GoodReads for about 10 days so I guess it just took time. Thanks again!
