Amazon Ratings

The position of my books on Amazon's Best Seller lists fluctuates throughout each day. Still, it's a good way to gauge how I'm doing with readers. There have been times when I haven't been on the list at all (it's only the top 100), but lately I've been doing fairly well! Over the past couple of months I've been #25 or better in children's fantasy. Then, last night I noticed that "The Threshold Child" was #8 on that list! I should mention that the first 7 books on that list were Harry Potter. That means that right now (because I've maintained that position) the only books selling better than mine on Amazon's Kindle is Harry Potter! I'm really excited about this, and I wanted to share. I never imagined that my books would do so well. My husband only convinced me to publish through KDP because he said that I had nothing to lose. The worst that could happen was that no one would buy it. I figured he was right, but I thought I would probably only sell a thousand copies before interest faded to nothing. There have been more than 10 times that number in downloads for "The Threshold Child" alone, and I am so amazed and grateful for the support of so many wonderful readers. Thank you all for making my dream of being a writer possible!

Update and ANNOUNCEMENT!

Things around my home have been pretty busy. We are trying to sell our condo and are building a house in a different city about a half hour's drive away. Also, I have a two-year-old and a seven-month-old. That alone makes for lots to do. Haha! I also recently had a birthday. I imagine that each of you is silently wishing me a belated happy birthday, so thank you for that! I haven't had a whole lot of time for writing until recently, but my husband and I are coming up with a few ideas to fix that. Because of his help in the matter, I have had a few days this last week to get some writing done! Hurray for my husband! I am now more than halfway done writing chapter four, and I'm feeling good about how this story is taking shape. I know that may not seem like much, but considering that I originally planned on taking a six month break after my daughter was born, I'm doing pretty good!

I've also settled on the title for book 3, and I've decided to announce it now rather than waiting. It will be...(drum roll, please)

THE LABYRINTH OF DESTINY

This title references a comment made by Ravi in the first book. He said, "Destiny is like a labyrinth. One is given the choice of paths, but once on that path one is required to follow it until a new choice is presented." In this upcoming book, Adesina will be faced with the choices that will decide the path that she takes--the path of the Threshold Child. I look forward to seeing where Adesina's path leads (even I don't know everything that's going to happen yet!) and I hope that you will, too. 

I'll try to keep updates posted as I go (and excerpts once it's nearer to being finished), both here and on my facebook page. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there's any random trivia about Adesina's world that you'd be interested in knowing more about. I'd be happy to share!
