I hit #1 in two categories; first in Space Opera Science Fiction...
And then in the parent category, Space Opera.
My publisher got me a featured promo in Bookbub, which gave THE SCORCHING an awesome boost in the rankings. Then my friends and followers helped me outsell DUNE for the day, earning me the top spot in one of my favorite genres. I read an article recently about how being an Amazon bestseller isn't a big deal anymore because some self-published authors just choose a niche category that means they only have to sell 2-3 copies in a day to become #1, but to make it in the Space Opera category is pretty awesome. I'm proud of my first book and I don't care who knows it! Thanks to all who helped me make it this far.
