All right, it was brief--it lasted only a few hours. And we're talking a minuscule number of sales; there are so few Kindles out there it doesn't take many sales to boost your rank dramatically. Still, it's happened twice in the last four days. Auspicious or not, it was a thrill to check my Kindle page and see The Islander ranked a bestseller in the following categories:
#1 Technothrillers
#2 Occult
#4 Political
In the occult category, only Stephen King stood between The Islander and the top spot. And The Islander has higher customer ratings. (Watch your back, Stevie.)
Of course, it doesn't take long for your rank to plummet as other books sell while yours does not, but my hope is that I can stay high enough in the rankings as more Kindles sell until the rankings actually mean something. If that happens, we really will have a significant event here.
