Can't add new book to Author Central??

[skeletor]

Curious if this is just me, or if this is indicative of a bigger problem.

Just released a new book back in late November (the 23rd). Went into my Author Central account, added it the usual way. Says that the new book should appear on my author profile within 5 business days. Awesome!

Well, it's about the 5th of December and still nothing.

I've gone in and attempted to re-add it multiple times, and each time I get the same song and dance. "You book's been added successfully--give it up to 5 business days!" Even so, when I scroll down my list of titles, it isn't listed on Author Central. Once upon a time, there used to be a pending message for newly-added books, if I recall correctly.

I don't know if this is a larger issue with Author Central, or if I've hit some Thanksgiving/holiday season delay. Kind of miffed, because I want Amazon to email my followers about it!

OK, update!

VERY sorry to have clogged up the forum with this thread. However, having just tried again for the umpteenth time, the books are JUST NOW showing on my Author Central list.

I suppose this might've been a holiday-related glitch? It is a busy time of year...

Anyhow, perhaps it was a false alarm on my part. Apologies!

Mine appear there automatically.

Pre-orders might make a difference, but I've not had to manually add a book to AC in a long time.

Black Friday and adjacent days are probably heavy traffic days, and I also think Amazon may be reworking some systems (though I don't for sure yet). So yes, I would think holiday glitch if anything is slower than usual.
