Ever since I started writing books I check Google (and for the past number of years it has been Google) for my name every now and then; both for the ego gratification and to see if there is misinformation or unhappy readers or other stories I should respond to.
Not that long ago, like a good corporate boy I would Live Search (boy that was hard to make into a verb) for my name. Eh.

The other 4 had to do with me but were not really bios. Still, not bad.

You can find out more on Bing.com
