Oh awesome! Really hope it blows your expectations out of the water! Have you gone free or 99c?

I've got mine in three weeks, so I'll be watching your results with very vested interest, haha.

Best of luck!

Just a bit! Having a whiskey to celebrate!

Over 32k downloads now and #1 in US and U.K. better than I could have hoped for.

Fingers crossed for that read through!

Just goes to show the power of a first time BB.

I gave up submitting to them a long time ago, but nice to know it is still possible for someone new to get one.

Thanks Timothy!

In the interests of full disclosure, I’m not exactly new. I’ve been publishing under my own name for 2.5 years now and have 7 books out.

I had a UK only bookbub last year which did well but nothing like this.

Sitting on 42,000 downloads now. Sales were up 318% yesterday. Will update with full figures soon

That's great. We've heard a lot about international BookBubs not doing so well. Your results are outstanding. :tup3b

This is not an international. This includes the US. Which is why it is doing so well.
