Diabolical Dreamscapes: one month publishing wrap-up
Has it really been one month since Diabolical Dreamscapes was published? Whew, those four weeks really flew in!
I’m very pleased with how well my first short story collection has been received. Hardcover sales have been the strongest, reaching #63 in bestsellers for literary fiction on IngramSpark.
Kindle Unlimited page reads and eBook sales propelled me to #9 on the Amazon US Hot New Releases chart for Metaphysical fiction, and #10 for the same category on Amazon UK.
I also had a handful of reviews from the UK and US. If you’re one of the readers who left a review, then thank you so much! I especially loved the top review from the US, which gave me a giggle. Yes, I am definitely in need of both a hug and a puppy, lol. 🤣🤣🤣
