Well, this has certainly been a most exciting week – and I don’t mean Cheltenham! My first horseracing thriller, Chantilly Dawns, published in 2011, has just become a No.1 Best Seller on Amazon! Publishers Weekly estimates a book would need to sell almost 1,100 copies every day to land a spot on the site's top five, which is quite incredible. I’m quite jealous to think of my hero, Marcel Dessaint, settling down on a couch with so many readers, or even curling up in bed with them! I hope they enjoy his company as much as I have.
All joking apart, I was asked by another author "how does it feel?" and I can truthfully say just like Christmas morning, finding that special gift. Quite incredible and a feeling I will remember for a long time to come. To everyone who has bought any book, not just mine or Chantilly Dawns - a heartfelt thank you, It means the world to authors.
