I've been saying all week that it feels like my novel is slowly gaining momentum. When we released ANOM: Awakening just over a month ago there was an initial rush of interest. I chalked this up to the support of friends and family coupled with offering the e-book for FREE for the first 5 days (People love free stuff. Watch them at a Phillies game when the Phanatic comes out with the Hot Dog cannon. People lose their ever-loving-minds!) But after those first five days, interest in my book plummeted . . . like stepping off a cliff! Now things are changing again. It really started over a week ago when we cracked the top 100 superhero e-books on Amazon. Ever since, it feels like ANOM: Awakening has been on a slow burn -- like when Wile E. Coyote lights the trail of black powder in his cartoons -- and it's all leading to something big. It's hard to offer proof of what I'm talking about. It's more of a feeling. But every so often you catch a glimpse of a way-post -- a sign showing where you've been and hopefully where you're heading. Today is one of those days. As of this writing, ANOM: Awakening currently ranks #28 among superhero e-books on Amazon! I'm not sure what you're all doing to make this happen. If you're telling friends, or writing reviews, or simply loaning someone your copy of the book so they can read it for themselves. . . but whatever you're doing, please keep it up! Success as a writer is entirely dependent on you, the reader, so let me say it again: Thank you! Yesterday, in less than a month since its release, ANOM: Awakening cracked the top 100 superhero e-books on Amazon! This is a major accomplishment, and none of it would be possible without all of your enthusiasm and support. From the bottom of our hearts and a million times over . . . THANK YOU! To celebrate our accomplishment, Vanessa and I are going to give away 5 free copies of ANOM: Awakening. All you have to do is follow the link below, like my Amazon Author Page (no purchase necessary), and you will be eligible to win one of the 5 free downloads. If you already own a copy of my book (or two or three), then this is the perfect time to tell your friends and family about ANOM: Awakening! Maybe they can be one of our lucky winners! Thanks again, and keep checking the page for more ANOM updates and information about future writing projects! I am proud to announce that in less than two weeks since its release, ANOM: Awakening is already ranked #368 among Amazon's Superhero e-books! But we still need your help!!! If you've recently read ANOM: Awakening, please consider going over to Amazon and giving us an HONEST rating and review*. There is NOTHING more important than reviews for the promotion (and eventual success) of the book. As always, thank you for the support. It's been an amazing ride so far, and I can't wait to see where we go next! *You can find Amazon's review policy here. |
