When I published my soon to be someday bestseller The Floating Man at the beginning of
August I knew it wouldn’t be an instant success. In order not to be discouraged,
I set the modest goal of selling fifty books by the end of the month. Well I’m
ready to pop the cork and celebrate. I smashed through the fifty barrier this
morning.
Still haven’t seen any Kindle sales since August 17th.
What’s up with that? Sales of my Nook eBook keep coming in every day but not
Amazon. And I thought they were the big behemoth that was going to take over
the world. I’m still hoping that there is a glitch with their sales reporting
system. If that is so, then I could still see a big spike in Kindle sales.
To lend credence to this theory, yesterday my ranking on
Amazon went from 270,000 to 57,000. And to throw water on that same theory, this
morning my ranking went back up to 127,000.
My Nook ranking is 57,000 and holding steady. I think I’ll stop going to
the sales reports every three minutes and clean the kitchen like I promised my wife
two weeks ago.
Maybe I’ll wait on popping the cork on that bottle of
Absinthe I ordered from France a few months ago. Need a better reason to tie
one on and get completely smashed. For now I’ll stick with the Southern
Comfort.
