Very exciting this morning.
INCEPTIO has been doing well on Amazon.co.uk with 41 reviews so far – 34 5-star and 7 4-star – and at time of writing has a sales rank hovering around #15,000 in the paid Kindle store. In July, it even hit #6,773. All very satisfactory for a first book by an unknown.
That was on the European side of the pond…
On 2 October, INCEPTIO’s ranking on the US site was at a respectable but unexciting #104,459 on 2 October in Amazon Best Sellers Rank, Paid in Kindle Store. Now, Amazon.com is the world’s biggest site and includes sales in countries other than just the US, so I wasn’t too depressed. These things take time.
This morning, I woke up to this result on Amazon.com:
- Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #8,599 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
- #17 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Fantasy > Alternative History
- #20 in Books > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Fantasy > Alternate History
- #45 in Books > Mystery, Thriller & Suspense > Thrillers > Historical
So you can see why smiles are painted all over the forum columns here.
STOP PRESS!
Now (4.30pm)

Absolutely fantastic, Alison. Am very proud of you and the book. I’m sure PERFIDITAS is going to do equally well as you now have a following. Very well done!
Thank you, Denise! Really thrilled about this. So lovely to have new readers find out about the Roma Nova books.
