My latest novel, Expatriates [1], had its scheduled release today, (October 1, 2013.)
Despite the book spine printing SNAFU, the book has been selling quite well.
Here is a summary of how the hardback has tracked:
September 22: #2,858 overall
September 25: #2,335 overall
September 27: #2,057 overall
September 28: #1,339 overall
September 30: #725 overall
October 1, @ 6:30 AM, Pacific Time: #164 overall
October 1, @ 8:30 AM, Pacific Time: #129 overall
October 1, @ 9:30 AM, Pacific Time: #52 overall (and #6 in Political Thrillers)
October 1, @ 3:00 PM, Pacific Time: #31 overall (and #3 in Political Thrillers)
October 1, @ 3:30 PM, Pacific Time: #24 overall (and #3 in Political Thrillers)
October 2, @ 5:30 AM, Pacific Time: #22 overall (and #2 in Political Thrillers)
(It was also #2 in the Kindle Store, in the “Suspense, Political” category.)
That is not a shabby ranking, considering that they now have about 4 million titles.
Thanks for waiting until today to order, folks!
