I am a happy man.

Author rankings change constantly, and I tend to be more focused on writing and sales than my position on Amazon, but when I break into the top 10—well, I’ve just got to lean back and enjoy the moment.

For several years, I’ve been happy to be a mid-list author writing stories I enjoy. Every year my sales have grown, but every business needs to advertise. So, we’ve been running a marketing campaign with Through Many Fires and, this has propelled sales higher—and moved up my author rank.

It will slide after the marketing campaign, but right now I’m enjoying the feeling.
