Here’s how it works. I need as many pre-orders as possible, so that when my book ‘goes live’, all those pre-orders count as a sale on a single day. The more sales I get on a single day, the higher my amazon ranking. I might even get to Number 1 – which means that I get a ‘badge’ and Amazon’s algorithms are more likely to promote my book.
So your small investment of $2 could really help boost my sales long-term. Thanks in advance!
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.
