My book won’t be released until May 4th and is only available for pre-order, so imagine my surprise when I went to my book page on Amazon and saw this:
My book was #1 New Release in Literary Travel. I got all excited, until I clicked on the link for new releases in Literary Travel and saw there were only seven new releases. Hahaha!
That knocked me down a peg or two. Then I checked to see how many pre-orders there are and saw there really aren’t that many. How Amazon figures their rankings is a mystery to me. I went from #10 in overall Literary Travel to #35 in a couple of days. Well, it was fun while it lasted. I’m told these rankings change from hour to hour, so I won’t get too hung up on them.
The good news is that both the print and eBook are available for pre-order on Amazon now that I got everything set up correctly. Don’t forget to email me for the free photo bonus if you pre-order.

John pre-ordered for the kindle. May we please have pictures? You are such a tease.
I am so bummed I cannot make your book signing. I feel horrible. I think I already told you that Brit arrives that weekend. Only here for a week.
I will call you soon. Miss you much.

Tell John thank you! The pictures are on the way. Don’t feel bad about the book launch–I know you need to spend time with Brittney. Tell her hi, and miss you too!

I am sure it was fun while it lasted. How exciting that Amazon will be carrying the printed version as well.

Yes, for that brief moment in time! I’ve read articles about the fickle nature of Amazon reviews, so I’m not putting much stock in them.

Whether there are seven new releases or two – or a thousand, you’re still Number 1 for new releases! Congratulations! And yes, you’ve dropped in overall Literary Travel, but I think 35 is fantastic. Yeah, who knows how they arrive at these statistics – but it’s still very cool! As Sherri said, it’s a roller coaster, so make sure you’re screaming a lot and holding your hands in the air. Hang in there, and have fun!
