Author Showcase is an all-in-one plugin for authors to show off their work on their site.
The Author Showcase plugin was written by an author, for authors. It was created in order to make it easy for authors to display their books, along with the buy links, in a number of different formats.
You can include the title, subtitle, cover, author name, series name, and blurb, as well as any number of links to various websites where each book may be bought.
You can then display your books on a page or post using a shortcode, or in a widget. All the messy HTML is taken care of, and each book is nicely formatted (and it should use your theme’s CSS).
<ul>
<li>Multiple display options using shortcodes – choose icons or text links, change the icon size</li>
<li>Advanced sidebar widget included</li>
<li>Column, Grid, List, and Single display modes, controlled by shortcodes</li>
<li>Include Amazon and Goodreads reviews for each book</li>

Author Showcase

The Author Showcase plugin allows authors to display their books, with buy links, on their website in a nicely formatted style.

Displays a wish list in the form of a grid of wanted items (for example CD, DVD or book covers). Allowing site visitors to remove items from the list once they have bought them.
The plugin comes with the Mr Men wish list by default, adding your own lists can be done by copying the file wish-pics/lists/MrMen.php and changing the content to reflect the items you want to display.
The plugin currently relies upon my other plugin <a href="http://www.houseindorset.co.uk/plugins/amazon-link" rel="nofollow ugc">Amazon Link</a> being installed to enable the user to generate their own wishlist based upon Amazon searches. 
Note these user generated wish lists will link to images on Amazon so may fail to work over time, or the Amazon site is down.
Each wishlist has the following settings:
<ul>
<li>Wishlist name & ID – Used to reference the wishlist, ID must be used when inserting the list</li>
<li>Wishlist – Which template list to use (defaults to MrMen)</li>
<li>Thumbnail Width – The width of images presented in the wishlist array</li>
<li>Thumbnail Height – The height of images presented in the wishlist array</li>
<li>Array width – The total maximum width of the wishlist array</li>
<li>Public Access – Allow anyone the ability to check items off the list</li>
<li>Access Level – If not public, then only allow users of this type the ability to check items off the list</li>
</ul>
If the Amazon Link plugin is installed it is possible to Create new lists based on items for sale on the Amazon Site. Simply select ‘Create List’ from the Admin page. 
Then search for items by ‘Title/Author’, perform a Search and select items to add to the list by clicking on the check boxes. 
The list will accumulate until you leave this screen, so multiple searches can be performed. Then select ‘Create’ to show an example of how the finished list will be presented. At this point you can click ‘Back to Search Results’ to change the list, or select ‘Save’ to add the list to the database.
Warning! returning to the admin settings screen without saving the list will lose the content of the search!
To create a new wishlist based on an old one or update an exist one, select ‘Edit List’ from the admin page.
