So, I was running around all morning and Legends of Windemere: Charms of the Feykin was in the 45,000 range with rankings. Came home, unpacked groceries, reported parent/teacher info to others, checked dinner plans, ate lunch, and sat down to write. First, I had to check the book just on a whim:
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #8,438 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
- #45 in Books > Literature & Fiction > Action & Adventure > Men’s Adventure
- #59 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Literature & Fiction > Action & Adventure > Men’s Adventure
- #66 in Books > Literature & Fiction > Action & Adventure > Women’s Adventure
Glad I finished my soda before this because I didn’t see it coming. Thought, I’d spend a lot more time dancing around the low and mid 100’s. I mean, this was a really great jump and it’s even higher on the connected Hot New Release lists. I believe it’s #8 on the one connected to Men’s Adventures. Now, I will admit that I would have liked to be on the Fantasy lists too, but this is just as good. Honestly, my hopes of getting onto a list where 8 of the Top 10 are Harry Potter aren’t very high This continues the trend of Legends of Windemere books showing up on Top 100 lists within their first month, which is something I’m proud of.
So . . . Guess I’ll go back to writing with a smile.

I expect a dip then maybe a rise after the publicist gets going. I don’t know why she insisted on waiting till publication to get started. I have always heard pre-marketing is mandatory…but she’s supposed to be the expert.

Looking forward to hearing about the publicist. That must be exciting.

Yeah. We’ll see how this goes. She’s supposed to be a rock star in the marketing world. She represent C.J. Box and lots of other well off authors. We’ll see. WE won her services in the Sleuthfest auction. I don’t think I’m high on her priority list. She may come through for me in ways I never imagined. I hope so 🙂

Has she mentioned what she’s going to do? Either way, I’m sure even a little help will be great.

Oh yes. She sets up a blog tour, guest posts, reviewers and does the media package and sends it out. You are absolutely right. Every little bit helps.

That’s great that she sets up reviewers. Really hard to get those, so that’s a big advantage.

Does it need to hit a certain level before it gets translated? I thought that was an automatic thing for Amazon.

I have no idea, honestly 🙂
But having a book translated costs money and sales need to be good to even think about them. I hope your sales are going to rocket 😉
