This is great news, Alex. Congratulations!
My fingers are crossed that this risk has a huge payoff for you. You'll definitely have to post about the experience.
I hope it exceeds all your hopes and expectations!

Over the past 2 & 1/2 - 3 months I’ve been sending out mailers all over the continental United States. I have included the flyer from the Miami Book Fair. Recently I’ve noticed an upswing in my mass distribution sales. I am wondering if anyone on the Miami Book Fair mailer has seen any mass distribution as well.

Wow! Congratulations! Big smiles here and best wishes for another 400+ % return.

I had a sudden order for 26 paperback books through the extended network! I think it is another class (high school) that may be using it for some alternative/at risk kids as a read. Or, a teacher study. It's been in the possible works for months, and I think just became a reality! This was my hope....that it would help people who struggle through a read that would keep them interested. My tail is wagging!!

I can't wait to watch the new Detective Pikachu over the weekend since my sister is having finals and I have work on Friday. So this would be the perfect way to relax after a stressful week. ^^

But the skepticism is fading away, now that I'm just fondling over the animation of Pikachu
Hehe I know. But hey, I'm gonna look forward to warching the movie. One thing for sure is that I'm looking forward to seeing all the pokemon (wished they fix up the monkey pokemon named Aipom. He's never viscious). Not to mention the comedy in the movie lol
Alex wrote: "I've never got into Pokemon myself, but I hope the film is everything you want it to be."It's been so long since I got into Pokemon, but I still delve into the old stuff. I'm not used to the new generation of Pokemon. I stopped I think 2013 or 14. But this year, I was playing a Pokemon game that was released in 2013, because my sister was bugging me. Now that one was pretty good.
Sorry if I was rambling. I'm such a geek when it comes to talking about interests.
Hehe still happy to talk about stuff, though ^^ Oooo another exciting thing that'll happen is that I'll get to watch some anime with my sister. I've been waiting watch some good anime that my sister and I can try.

Puts me in a good mood and usually makes me more productive as well, so that is definitely something good :)

Wonderful news. The first Oh Susannah is a true favorite of mine.
Alex, that's amazing - all of it. You have many more reviews than I do, speaks volumes for your writing.
Also, you're almost at the top of the free charts for your genres in the UK and BookBub are only just beginning to roll out their newsletters.
Go, go, go!

That's awesome Alex!
I've just downloaded it. I look forward to reading it and will leave a review.

Thought you'd like to know how #2 looks in Canada right now...
Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #691 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
#9 in Small Town & Rural Fiction
#21 in Cozy Mysteries
#41 in Police Procedurals (Kindle Store)
Congratulations, Alex! I hope it results in lots of sales to offset that cost.

Amazing Alex!!!!
Ooh... what a good idea, Alex. I'll join you in that celebration (much deserved) and sneak off to find some chocolate now!
I saw your tweets, well done Alex. Excellent results.

Glad to hear more good news! That's really nice of Freebooksy. I've always had good luck with their features and they seem great to work with.
Whoop, whoop, whoop!!!Thanks for sharing your joy. It just proves good things can and do happen right out of the blue.
