Oh Amazon, you're so silly.
Since GhosTV has been selling a few copies on Kindle, and since I just put it up there last Thursday, I've been watching GhosTV's page to see when actual rankings appear.
Have you guys ever seen those Kraft American cheese slices commercials where a little kid tries to explain how half a glass of milk gets into a cheese slice? The kid usually starts out really rational, saying, "First they take the milk..." and then it cuts to some wacky Rube Goldberg-like thing for a split second that makes no sense, and then it cuts back to the kid holding the cheese going, "And that's how they do it."
Getting your ebook on Amazon is a lot like that. It seems perfectly logical, and then the Rube Goldberg thing happens, and then you get what you get in terms of a page, rankings, recommendations, etc.
Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #2,792 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store) #2 in Books > Gay & Lesbian > Literature & Fiction > Erotica > Anthologies #3 in Books > Gay & Lesbian > Literature & Fiction > Erotica > Lesbian #12 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Fiction > Horror > Ghosts So I guess I'd just like to apologize to the authors of lesbian erotica, and all the gay erotica anthologies, that my book that is neither about lesbians, nor is it an erotica anthology, for elbowing in on your category. I chose the categories "fiction-gay" and "fiction-ghost." I guess we can blame the intermediary cheese steps for the bizarre application of those categories.
I'll enjoy that ghost ranking, though.

I clicked over to Amazon from GR to buy it and it didn't link up. Said the title was "not found". Then it didn't show up in the Kindle store on my device, either. I had to go over and do a regular old wide search to find it. Although, since I'm currently reading it, I do feel like a rat that has successfully completed a maze. Vic is the cheese. ;^)
This is so funny! I usually get some sort of corresponding categories and lists ranking - but this here is just too funny!
