A hard-boiled detective. A beautiful blonde in trouble. What could go wrong?
In the aftermath of World War II, detective Lou Delacroix walks the mean streets of New Orleans, trying to scrape out a living, harder for Marie-Louise Delacroix now that men have returned from the war. A beautiful blonde with a missing husband begs Lou for help. As she wades through the swampy parts of town full of voodoo, music, and crime, can Lou find the husband and save her client's life? She'll settle for one, and she’s got her preference.

Join Lou in this first-in-series historical novella as she finds that only a detective, nurse, and tap dance teacher can triumph in the bayous of New Orleans.

Two things: We can't add Kindle editions manually, they are auto imported by Amazon bot. And... the book was auto imported by Amazon bot 2 days ago. Try searching with ASIN.

Thank you. Yes, it's in the system but how do I get it on my profile?

Thanks. I'm already a Good Reads Author with 9 works. But Good Reads has created another M. R. Dimond profile with only The Rude Bird in her books. This happens every time I publish a new book. I would love to know how to claim it myself.

Ok, I see what you mean. The issue is that on Goodreads you have the author name M.R. Dimond, which is the only way Goodreads allow it to be formatted, in accordance with Associated Press (AP) Style and web-optimised styles.
Amazon have it as M. R. Dimond with the extra space between the initials so it imports it that way and it won't be added to your profile until a librarian edits the name and removes the space.

I removed the space and it immediately showed on your profile.

Thank you for doing that. CMOS says to use a space, so I did, not knowing it would be a problem. So unless I change for future books, I'll have to keep asking. I've had to several times already, but no one told me the issue.

I appreciate your help.
