800
First reached the 800-ranking club over the weekend. That’s a little less than two months from making the 700 club. Over that time reviewers have left some nice write-ups, and I’m thinking I’ll use at least one of the quotes for a new version of the BookBub ad I’ve been running for the book over the past year. Time for a refresh. Sales have ebbed a little the last few weeks, which I’m attributing to lower sales in general for books in December, as well as people spending their money on gifts and not books. If the trend of ratings continues, I should hit a thousand sometime in spring, which will be an exceptional milestone for someone who put the book out there and wondered if people would buy it, much less enjoy it. In other good news, I finished-finished First Step yesterday. No more revisions, no more editing. I’ve taken care of all the things I needed to and now it’s ready to go. I have to get a cover commissioned (that sounds so official!) and publish the book. I think it turned out great and I’m looking forward to getting ratings and reviews in abundance.
