What it is ain’t exactly clear.
What is clear is that The Coppersmith is seriously taking off in the rankings. This is the latest from Amazon, as of 4:35 am on Tuesday, September 4th:
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #1,012 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
- #69 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Fiction > Genre Fiction > Mystery & Thrillers > Thrillers > Suspense
- #72 in Books > Mystery, Thriller & Suspense > Thrillers > Suspense
That I’ve even cracked the Top 100 in two categories is nothing short of amazing. Part of it, doubtless, is the little hiccup with Amazon’s price matching. Seems Diesel Books was still offering The Coppersmith for sale at their site, a discrepency which has since been rectified. I’m unaware of the book selling anywhere else at the moment. So for the past day or so, people have been getting the book at a serious discount. Maybe that’s led to the sales. It certainly hasn’t hurt my rankings.
Regardless, I’m hard at work on the sequel, and I hope to have it done… before the month is out? We’ll see. It certainly wouldn’t hurt to have something more to offer all these readers!
That is such awesome news Michael. I would love to read a sequel to The Coppersmith, Spilled Milk and #3 for Jefferson’s Road. Just keep them coming. Congratulations.
Thanks, Patti! I’m working hard on them!
Are you going to do any more with The Widening Gyre?
Yes. I’ll be working on Gyre as well. But I have to prioritize based on what’s selling, y’know?
