Got my author page on amazon.com and amazon.in
I was very happy that https://authorcentral.amazon.com recently accepted my request to create an author page for their site, which then has resulted in an author page for me on amazon.com and on amazon.in.
You see, I have chosen to sell my books only on amazon.in but not on amazon.com as I want to limit my self-publisher legal indemnity risk to India. [Readers may want to see my post: Why I am not making my free ebooks available on Amazon Kindle (and Google Books), http://ravisiyer.blogspot.com/2019/05/why-i-am-not-making-my-free-ebooks.html.]
So on authorcentral.amazon.com, my books were not in the list (created from amazon.com books) I had to select from, declaring them as my books, which prevented me from going further in the author page creation process on that site.
And amazon.in ***does not*** have a separate authorcentral!
I sent a request message to authorcentral.amazon.com and they responded quickly, by checking that I do have two (paperback) books on amazon.in and so accepting me as author on authorcentral.amazon.com, and informing me about it over email. I thanked amazon profusely in my email response.
So here's my amazon.com author page: https://www.amazon.com/author/ravisiyer (which redirects automatically to https://www.amazon.com/Ravi-S.-Iyer/e/B07WZ3PWJM). This has my pics and a brief bio. But it does not list any books.
In the author pics upload form, amazon says, "We encourage you to feature yourself in your photos, but feel free to add the photos that represent you best as an author."
So in the set of my (author) pics, I decided to add my divine awareness (which I believe is my ***ultimate & eternal existential reality*** and NOT this ephemeral mind-body complex named/identified as Ravi S. Iyer) meditation helper-statements pics. Those pics can be seen in this post of mine: http://ravisiyer.blogspot.com/2019/05/hope-to-get-back-to-divine-awareness.html.
Given below are screenshot pics of the above author page:

And here's my amazon.in author page: https://www.amazon.in/Ravi-S-Iyer/e/B07WZ3PWJM/. This lists my books on amazon.in and shows my pics but does not show the brief bio. The pics are picked up from authorcentral.amazon.com but not the bio! I plan to send a request on this to amazon.in support.
