Monday Climb

Not sure what happened this past Monday, but First climbed higher on the US Amazon rankings than it ever has before. In 2024 the book went pretty high on the UK and Canada charts while remaining further down in the US. It was kind of cool to watch the ranking ratchet upward while wondering why. In a good way, of course. As previously mentioned, the Amazon rankings are relative and I won’t know actual sales until next week. The highest it went was 7,692 and #37 in the Space Exploration category. Other authors probably look at that as quite the pedestrian number and shake their head at my naive excitement. That’s fine. For me, it’s realizing that of millions of books on Amazon, mine is ranked near the top. Not bad for someone who does this only a little over an hour a day. As they say, don’t quit your day job. I won’t, but I will certainly bask in the good feeling of a momentary uptick in the rankings.
