When creating an ePUB document using PAGES, I can't keep an image on the same page as the text

I am using Pages to create an ePUB document. This is for an eBook to be self-published on Amazon Kindle. There is only one image in the whole book, and I cannot figure out how to "pin" it to the text.

The image keeps showing up on its own page, and NOT above the appropriate text.

It is for the "About the author" page. I want to include a single image above the line "About the author"... But there is a page with nothing more than the image sitting alone on a page, and the NEXT page has the line "About the author" with the text below.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how it to get it to stay above the text!

Please help!

Mike

When you insert the Author's picture, set Arrange panel : Text Wrap to Above and Below. Object Placement to Stay on Page. Then export the EPUB using Layout, not Reflow and embed fonts. Doing that, here is what I got when viewed in Apple's Books after creation in Pages v13.1 using your text but a handier image:

Note that Kindle Gen expects Word or PDF input documents and its Kindle book results may vary depending on its input content.
