You can help make me a best-seller!

Sharon Manssen

How? I hear you ask. Well, I’ve been doing some research about how the whole Amazon rankings and categories system works, and it turns out that you can calculate how many books per day someone in a particular category sells to become the #1 bestseller.  Then all I need to do is sell one more book than them!

Once you manage to become a #1 best-seller, you can claim that ranking as a ‘badge’, even when you slip down the rankings – that is, if I manage to become the #1 best-seller for even one day, then I can legitimately claim that my book is a #1 best-seller. And then supposedly I will show up in more searches and my book will sell more.

I’ve managed to get my book into a category where I will need to sell 21 books in a day to make the #1. I currently have 7 pre-orders for my book Medar. So I need 14 more pre-orders to hit that #1 spot on 8 June when it releases.

Are you willing to help me? If so, then:

  • Pre-order my book on Amazon (for kindle) or Smashwords (for other)
  • Share this message via your networks

Thanks!

A fantasy fan since being read 'The Hobbit' by her father at the fireside at the age of six, she has been an avid bookworm her entire life. When the idea for her current trilogy popped into her head, there was never any doubt that it would be in the fantasy genre. Unfortunately, real life gets in the way, and writing has to fit around her full-time job at a global engineering consultancy and family life (husband and two young adult children). It took ten years to pen her first book, Medar, which was a finalist for the Tom Fitzgibbon Award in 2015 and was published in 2017. Her second book, Tyrelia was nominated in the Young Adult Fiction category in the 2019 Sir Julius Vogel Awards. Her third book, Golden City, is due out in 2021.
