Kinfairlie Knights Promotion

On Sunday, I had a BookBub ad for my Kinfairlie Knights boxed set of medieval Scottish romances. Today, let’s look at the results. (I hope you find this as interesting as I do.)

Overall, this promotion was pretty amazing.

At Amazon US, Kinfairlie Knights reached #129 overall paid in the Kindle store, as well as #1 in Medieval Historical Romance and #1 in Scottish Historical Romance. Just as with the list for Wyvern’s Mate, there are a lot of Kindle Unlimited titles, but this time, they all seem to be the kind of books I’d expect to find in the bestseller list for the category.

At At Amazon UK, my bundle rose to #656 overall paid  in the Kindle store, as well as #2 in the Scottish Historical romance and #2 in the Medieval Historical romance categories. Let’s look at my list neighbours there:

At Amazon CA, Kinfairlie Knights rose to #22 overall paid in the Kindle store (wow!), as well as #1 in Scottish Historical romance, #1 in Medieval Historical romance and – a surprise ranking – #1 in Supernatural Mystery. Maybe that’s because The Rogue is a Gothic romance with suspense elements, and The Renegade’s Heart has paranormal elements.

At Amazon AU, the rankings were different again. The book rose to #58 overall paid in the Kindle store, and #2 on the Historical Romance list. (Yay!)

I was pretty much shocked when I visited B&N to find Kinfairlie Knights sitting on the index page for the Nook store, at #4 overall! That’s fabulous!

I dug in a bit more to that, because it’s good news. Here’s the same data displayed on the B&N Top 100 Nook books page:

You might have noticed that #1-#3 aren’t romances, so it’s not a huge surprise that my book was at #1 in the romance section. Hi, Nora!Kinfairlie Knights at B&N January 9, 2017

And there’s Kinfairlie Knights again, at #1 in the Historical Romance section at Nook. Nice company there. 🙂

Next, I went to Kobo to check on results there, and found more good news – #1 in Historical romance and #1 in Paranormal romance.

I hopped into those two bestseller lists to check out my company – I don’t know Lecia but we sure were neighbours on historical romance lists this past weekend.

And these two books don’t show up in all the screenshots, but they were both list neighbours for Kinfairlie Knights in multiple places.

And finally, at Apple, Kinfairlie Knights was #13 on the Romance bestseller list.

What an absolutely terrific promotion this was! Thanks to all of you who picked up a copy of Kinfairlie Knights for just 99 cents. If you didn’t do that yet, it’s still on sale.

Also, you might want to look for Highland Heroes, another bundle of three medieval Scottish romances of mine, which is also 99 cents right now.

THANK YOU!

Bad News & Good News

I thought you were all past due for an update from me, so here it is.

The “bad news” isn’t really that bad – and is far outshone by the good news. I’m sick. That’s it. I caught the flu bug that’s making the rounds, and have to take it easy for a few days. On the downside, this means that I’m not en route to the Novelists’ Ink conference which starts tonight in Myrtle Beach. I was really looking forward to the conference, to seeing some friends and learning a great deal, but there was no way I could face airline travel today. (And really, it’s better for everyone that I couldn’t. This bug has been shared sufficiently already.)

On the other hand, there’s an abundance of good news. First off, I have a job that I can still do when I’m sick 🙂 so I’ve been working away on those edits. It’s a great thing to have the opportunity to re-edit and revise all three Prometheus Project urban fantasy romances, even if I feel as if I’ve been lost in the netherzones of the Republic these past weeks. Fallen is available in its new edition, as you already know, and Guardian has gone to the formatter. Guardian should be available next week in its new digital edition. Rebel is next and I’m hoping it will be a quicker edit, then I’m expecting Abyss back from my editor this weekend. So, Rebel should be available by the end of the month (fingers crossed!) while I’m hoping that Abyss will be released in November. It’ll depend on those edits – I’ll be able to tell you more next week, after I’ve had a look at my editor’s comments. It’ll be exciting to have all of this series back out in the world again in those shiny new editions.

In other good news, All or Nothing is doing really well this week. This morning, it’s #42 overall paid in the Kindle store, as well as #1 in three categories – Romantic Comedy, Holiday Romance and Knitting Books. Its sales rank is #11 at B&N, which is pretty amazing, too. Thanks to all of you who picked up a copy at the sale price!

The Rogues of Ravensmuir Boxed Set is hanging on the lists at Amazon, too – it’s still at #17 or #18 on three of the historical romance lists (Scottish, Medieval and Medieval Historical Romance), which is fantastic. Just above it on those same lists is our multi-author boxed set, Five Unforgettable Knights, coming in #11, #12 and #13.

So, there’s your update. As usual when I’m up to my eyes in editing and other jobs, the story gremlins get busy. I have notes all over my desk for stories, so today, I’m going to treat myself to some writing time. Tomorrow, I’ll tell you about an online course that has me intrigued.

Indie Bestseller

Well, this is pretty exciting news. My Rogues of Ravensmuir Boxed Set is #6 on the Indie Bestseller list as of today. I’ve never made this list before, so am pretty excited.

Look!

The boxed set remains on sale at Amazon, Apple, B&N and Kobo until tomorrow night, so don’t miss out on the special pricing. (Buy links are on this blog post.)

I’m off to buy myself some knitting yarn to celebrate. 🙂

Great Start to Weekend

Happy news this morning from Amazon. Woo HOO!

The Beauty Bride by Claire Delacroix, first in the bestselling trilogy of medieval romances The Jewels of Kinfairlie.

Amazon has made The Beauty Bride free, although there’s no telling how long that will last. This is the first book in my Jewels of Kinfairlie series, and was called “a lyrical medieval-era romance” by Publishers’ Weekly. Madeline and Rhys’ book is already #11 in free historical romance and #200 in free overall. (Wow!) You can read an excerpt on my website right here, or go straight to Amazon to grab your copy right here.

One More Time by Deborah Cooke

And One More Time is sticking to the charts! This morning, it is #38 in paid romantic comedy on Amazon, which is pretty cool. You can read an excerpt on my site right here, or go straight to Amazon to buy a copy right here.

This is starting the first weekend of summer off right!
