I like that you control it all yourselves. When some authors I like have changed publishers who changed prices because they figure it’s an automatic best-seller, I have skipped those books entirely. Since there is no publisher to do an announcement, I will have to take a stab at it. It was all you and online ebook retailers. We didn’t have any publisher-backed advertising or marketing. You bought, you reviewed, you posted about it. The term is kind of ridiculous – the book is a bestseller or not – but it sounds impressive. BLOOD HEIR is what the industry calls an “instant bestseller,” a run away first book in a series that shoots up like a rocket against all expectations. It is definitely our fastest selling self-published book ever. It might be our fastest selling book ever. It’s not a totally fair comparison because MT came out in hardback and was a final book of a popular series, while BLOOD HEIR was competitively priced, but an unknown commodity, but I don’t care. BLOOD HEIR sold more in the first week than MAGIC TRIUMPHS sold in the entire release month. BLOOD HEIR sold significantly more than either of them. All books, hardcovers, mass market, fiction, non-fiction, all books. Last week, we had #2 bestselling book out of all books published in US.
