Selling Ebooks for the Nook from Barnes & Noble

Yesterday I discovered that my young adult novel, Hidden(Marchwood Vampire Series), was in the Barnes & Noble Nook Top 100 list. And not just in the top 100, but it’s reached the vertiginous heights of number 27!
How did it happen? And what does it mean?

I published to B&N via Smashwords, which is great, but unfortunately it means I have to wait until next month to find out what this chart position represents in terms of sales – NO-O-O-O-O!!! How can I wait that long? My mind is on overdrive wondering how many people have bought my book.

Nearly all my previous sales have been through Amazon. In fact, in June I only sold 6 copies of Hidden via B&N and it was ranked in the thousands. So how has it managed to leap from that, to number 27? I’ve been featured on a few blogs and had some great reviews, but apart from that … I’m stumped.



I’m not complaining, just curious and itching to find out how many I’ve sold. Anybody care to take a wild guess???

  1. I bought Hidden a few days ago on my Nook b/c it showed up in the Steals and Deals category and sounded interesting. I am LOVING IT!!! Sad there isn't a sequel to read after I'm done! :)

  2. Hey Tabatha, Thank you so much :) I'm frantically scribbling the sequel at the moment - Thicker Than Blood. It should be out later this year.

    It's interesting that the Steals and Deals is where you found it. Thanks for letting me know! xx
