Good luck Aislinn, I'm sure you'll pull it off. And well done to everyone.

Great article Carole!

[Carole]

Thanks!!

[Christine]

Great article - interesting and informative!

[Carole]

Thanks. I leaned about whether I should purchase ISBN's from their site. You should join Bookworks- They have a lot of information.

[Ben]

Well done all!!!! I'm going to be all over awards from now on, dropped the ball this year!

[Steven]

My book jumped up 400 ranks in one category. I'm about to break 200. I mean, for a self published author that's good right?

That's really good- now you have to try and keep it there.

[Steven]

I'm doing my damnedest! :D

[Steven]

but you know that old piece of advice, "You know what sells your first book? Your second book. You know what sells your second book? Your third book."

I'm just going to try and keep doing that.

[Erica]

This is a rare occurrence for me...I saw a small spike in sales in the last two days and it is unrelated to a new book release! Possibly the magazine release?? :)

[R.L.]

Ya never know, it could be a ton of things. Congrats regardless!!!

[Carole]

Congrats, Erica. I think the fact you are being mentioned in a magazine can't hurt. The more people see you name,whether it's a magazine, radio show, blog, or Facebook brings you closer to another sale.

[Erica]

Thanks. :) I try not to let opportunities pass me by and this is the first time I have seen a spike outside of a book release. I am stoked!

[Carole]

Get used to it!!

[Alexis]

Killing it, Erica.

[J.]

Congrats, Erica!!

[Judy]

I'm happy to hear the good news, Erica!

[Erica]

Thank you Alex, Alexis, J. and Judy! :) :) :) :)

Well, congrats to all the entrants- like I've said, an award is an award is an award.

I know I entered more than is shown- so that stands for something!!!

[Carole]

I adore you Alex!!! I just get excited anytime I see my books in good company!!
