Following my first live video interview on Sally Sue Ember’s CHANGES, I woke up this morning to a lovely surprise: The Power of Six had reached #1 on Amazon – without any ads or promotion!
So, I wanted to thank you all for your help with that. I know a lot of you have been kind enough to buy the book after finding out about it here, and I wish I could hug each and every one of you to thank you.
I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Oh, and a teaser: October 17 sees the one-year anniversary since Pearseus was first published. I have something very special planned for that date, with lots of giveaways, so mark the date on your calendar!
For a few more days, The Power of Six will be on sale. Read seven short sci-fi stories for only 99c!

Wow Nicholas – I’m so proud of you! Is that actual sales at 99c? This is truly amazing, well done! How long has it been on sale at that price? It’s been a while I think? It must have gained quite a momentum given time. That’s genius 🙂

It was 99c when first launched, then back to the normal price of $2.99. I put it back on sale earlier in September, advertising only on my blog. I have yet to promote the sale (I have scheduled ads to run later this month), which is why I was so surprised this morning!

Lol – no need to bribe me, I think my author fantasy friends like Nat or Charles would love to take part. Especially after seeing how great an experience it was for me – and how helpful it was to my book! I’ll be happy to ask fantasy girls like Elle and Frostie, too – among so many others. I’m flattered that so many great authors follow my blog! 🙂

You’re too kind. It’s not that big a deal, really. I suspect that Sally’s interview helped a lot, so I sold over a dozen copies in a couple of days. We’ll see if it can be sustained.
Still, it felt good and was a much-needed boost to my ego! 😀
