I just noticed that my novelette Vambrace is listed in the TV, Movie & Game Tie-In category in the UK and is comfortably nestled between a Frozen Diary and a Twilight Guide.

I find this amusing because it isn't a tie-in for anything, and I get to be right beside Twilight and Frozen! I never selected it, somehow Amazon UK just put it there.

How about your books, are you in any odd categories in other Amazons?

I haven't checked yet, but you gave me the idea to enlist for a few new categories with Amazon regarding my witch hunter book:


Alternate history
Body workout - Terminal
Languages - Cursing
Travel - Meet locals - Kill them
Cooking - From the attic
Health - Potions gone deadly well
Self help - How to avoid some people
Law - High stakes
Technology - Portals
Nature - Botany - Deathropes
Mythology - Dates with succubi
Politics - Behind every man, there is a woman

Well, my fantasy trilogy that deals with a lot of adult situations (Not sex, the other kind) was listed as a children's book for a while... took me a couple weeks to get Amazon to sort it out >.>

I thought you were only allowed to be in two categories at once?

I'd love to be in 3-4 per book because 2 isn't enough!

I set what categories and genres my books fall under so this doesn't happen...least I think it doesn't.

I set my genres as well! I never set it to that. :)

It is a category in the US and in the UK, but it has ended up only in the UK one. Fun.

I haven't checked in a while, but my paperbacks of Going Green were coming up as Women's Fiction in Canada. Honestly, if more women's fiction involved the apocalypse, I'd probably read more. ;)
