I am blown away by everyone's support for the release of my romance novel "The Amish Newcomer." SurvivalBlog kindly gave me a shout-out. Several readers said they promoted the book on their social media platforms. Even my dear sister-in-law dropped a note that she'd purchased a copy.
Though the book is available from multiple sources, I took screenshots of my Amazon ranking as the day went on as a sort of indicator. In the morning, the book ranked 169,346 in ALL books, #631 in the Amish Romance category, and #1160 in the Contemporary Christian Romance category.
By late afternoon, the numbers had changed dramatically: 9,378 in ALL books, #28 in the Amish Romance category, and #56 in the Contemporary Christian Romance category.
By evening, the numbers were even better: 6,500 in ALL books, #13 in the Amish Romance category, and #37 in the Contemporary Christian Romance category.
This morning, despite yesterday's "book bomb" being over, the numbers are still great: 6,451 in ALL books, #15 in the Amish Romance category, and #42 in the Contemporary Christian Romance category.
Folks, these rankings are all due to your support. You're the reason those numbers are so high. I am humbled and honored by your enthusiasm and encouragement.
It's hard to express the depth of my gratitude in a mere blog post, but I'll try. Thank you! Thank you!
So very happy for you! I know when I ordered from Amazon there were only six left at that time!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I bought the Kindle version and started reading it right away; it's really good! I look forward to more. By the way, I haven't read any fiction for years!
ReplyDeleteI bought a copy on Amazon last night, looking forward to the read.

I got a copy on Kindle and greatly enjoyed it. Looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting on Amazon to mail my copy.
ReplyDeleteI live among the Amish and worked as a assistant to a midwife for the Amish. I do not read Amish books! I love your blog and went on amazon and read what was there. I like what I read and bought the book. Looking forward to reading the rest
ReplyDeleteSince you have a unique insider view, I will be very interested in your opinion of the book! Please post a comment with your thoughts (no flattery, I'd love the plain unvarnished truth).

I'm almost done with the book and am enjoying it immensely. I was skeptical, this being your first fiction, and me not being a huge lover of romance stories, but you've done wonderfully. I can't wait to see how it will end!
ReplyDeleteYay! I look forward to receiving my copy from Amazon soon!
ReplyDeleteI bought your book for my kindle. I will start readingwhen I finish the book I am currently reading.
ReplyDeleteLoved your first book..and I am sure this will be a great book to read...Blessings to you from this widow in NC
We thank you for a good read. There are some that can spin a story and then there are those of us that can only read them. So I guess thank you for the thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am not at all the target market, but ordered today. Looking forward to expanding my horizons.
ReplyDeleteI will see to ordering this book. Good job!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wanna disgust you. Amazon is selling a book literally titled "In Defense of Looting". Read the reviews.p and have a laugh. I feel that too many trees were killed for this book. And I am not a green earther.
