If You're One of Those People...

For about a year now I've been able to follow my weekly book sales via Bookscan. Usually, there are lots of ups and downs. Sales go up when a new book comes out. When there are reviews or end of year lists, etc. All the predictable stuff. Normally, I pay only passing attention. Gotta keep my sights set on the new books, right?

My interest has perked up a bit recently, though. For some reason, sales have slowly and steadily increased over the summer. I'm not aware of any particular promotions or ads or anything. No new publications. But week by week for most of the summer the Acacia books have been steadily selling.

It's kinda cool. But I don't know where or why this is happening. My Amazon sales rank is nothing special. So... can it be that people are actually finding the books in bookstores? Is it all because of that GRRM quote? Word of mouth?

Beats me, but I'm pleased. If you're one of the people out that there's come to the series this summer, thank you. I hope you like it!

Carey The library I work at has a staff picks display up and one of mine is Acacia. I also recommend it to all of our fantasy inclined patrons.

David Durham Thank you, Carey. Much appreciated. Where's your library?


message 5: by Carey (new)

Carey I work at the Fondulac Library in East Peoria, IL. It's kind of smack in the middle of the state. I've also got Acacia on the ballot for my sci-fi/fantasy book club. We're making an effort in 2013 to explore more contemporary fantasy.
