Book Launch Aftermath - BEST SELLER!

Yesterday's launch of PLAY IT AGAIN was a success. The numbers, although climbing steadily throughout the afternoon, did not look good enough to reach 'best seller' status on amazon.com/  They reached 29,000 in 'Books' around midnight - not bad when you consider there are 2 million plus books listed on Amazon.

Unfortunately, the sales rank on amazon.ca - the Canadian subsidiary - were not available.
I did a final check at around 12:30 am before heading off to bed and low and behold ... the numbers at Amazon.ca had appeared with PLAY IT AGAIN ranking #72 in the 'Romance-Contemporary' category! I wish I could have seen them earlier in the day, but at least I took a screenshot so that I have evidence that it did, indeed, make it into the 'best seller's' circle. Hooray!

Now if I could just figure out how to transfer that shot here ...  I guess you'll just have to take my word for it for now. I would like to express a huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the launch. I couldn't have done it without you.

That's great, Tracy!

A group of us have banded together to do something similar as John 316.

You may have seen Readers' Realm mentioned on Facebook or Twitter. I'm involved in it along with four or five other folks you probably know. We'll go live on March 1st. The website's main goal is to support authors as they launch their books. More information on that will be forthcoming.

In conjunction with this, we are looking for guests to blog. Specifically, we're looking for author interviews, book reviews, writing tips, and, once a week, we'd like to highlight a guest blogger who may choose any topic as long as it relates to writing. It can be use of social media, promoting books, what makes a good book, etc.

If you would like to participate, please contact me on Facebook or shoot me an email at readersrealm@yahoo.com.

Hope you can participate! (Also, if you can "Like" Readers' Realm on Facebook and share updates on Facebook and Twitter, it will help us to help others. Thanks!)
