On the Road to the Top 100

By now, many of you know that the eight authors who participated in the making of the Unforgettable Heroes boxed set have hit the big time by being recognized as Amazon Top 100 Most Popular Contemporary Romance Authors. I am still pinching myself, like many of my fellow authors, realizing that’s really me in the photo.

I know many of you have often dreamed of one of your books reaching a visible (and potentially lucrative) position on one of the main lists (and many of you have been there). Unforgettable Heroes certainly has done that already, making it to the top five romance anthologies, the top 50 contemporary romances and the top 75 romances. We have all belief it will go much further and perhaps even be recognized on a list outside of those at Amazon.  But how does that happen?

Here’s what I know for sure: it takes more than one person and it takes a lot of hard work and attention for not one week, but many. You get by with a lot of help from your friends, and that means relying on not only those close to you, but fellow authors in a joint marketing effort and even authorsof competing books who might join forces so their books and yours receive more visibility.

Social media is the key and the further you can spread the word on what a really great bargain your book is, the better. Of course, nothing works better than writing the best book you can. Write a great book, and they will come, eventually.

So here I am, celebrating a success with my seven friends and fellow authors. Celebrate with us and get your copy of Unforgettable Heroes. Better yet, also buy it for friends. You won’t forget the heroes.

Oh, also stop by this Friday at www.authorroastandtoast.blogspot.com, from 10 a.m. until the end of the day and help us celebrate with virtual food, drink and some great door prizes.
