Well, Monday was an interesting day. My first solo project, The Moonlit Road launched in the morning and I set about promoting it. Well, promoting is a bold word. I actually had a lot of real job work to do so I was only really able to post links on a few Facebook groups and actually got within arm’s length of Twitter to let them know too.
Around noon, I was curious so I checked my stats. I was thrilled that my little book seemed to be a contender. I was #1015 in Horror Anthologies and #4407 in Fiction Anthologies. To me, that was absolutely CRUSHING IT!
What did I expect from my little self-published book without a publisher or any real marketing machine behind it? Hell if I knew but what happened next was completely unexpected:
A couple hours later, I wondered if maybe I could have cracked the top 1000 position. Does a man dare to dream?
BOOM!
#50 in Horror Anthologies and #149 in Fiction Anthologies!
So, now I’m addicted. Would it be possible to…
#32 in Horror Anthologies and #120 in Fiction Anthologies.
And a #1 New Release badge on my book.
This is a really big deal. And I am over the moon about it.
