What a wild week! When I last posted on the blog, I'd just published Little Memphis. I was really worried many of my readers wouldn't be interested in LM because they were focused on the final Damaged book. I was thrilled to have so many tell me they enjoyed the new series and looked forward to more. That was Friday the 19th.
The next morning, my son Pooh was taken to the hospital. We waited in the ER for nearly twelve hours before he was released. Fortunately, he's shown improvements over the week. With Pooh, life is always a struggle.
Once my boy was home and safe, I was able to work on Damaged and the Saint. I expected LM to perform like the last few Damaged books with a strong few days before tapering off over the week. At first, the sales were on par for what I expected. Then I ran a promo on Sunday. Within days, I reached the highest ranking of my writing career.
What's exciting is how many new readers have been introduced to my books. They're also itching for the next Memphis book. The feedback has been so positive that I decided to make Little Memphis MC a trilogy. This will add a new book to my already booked 2015 scheduled.
Along with the final Memphis book, I plan to start a biker trilogy next year. What's funny is how the series started as my subject line in an email to Miranda. I wrote how a bad mood was rising. She responded that Bad Men Rising would make a cool title for a book or series. Next thing we knew, ideas were brewing and an entire new world was born.
So it was a wild week because of Pooh's health, but can I really complain? As a midlist author, I'm blessed to hit such a ranking and sell thousands of books in the first week. Whether I do as well in the future is always up in the air, but writing books rather than this blog would probably help. :P
I'll leave you with one of my favorite country songs ever...
