    Pre-orders don't all count day of sale, do they? Didn't you have rank during the preorder days?

    Are you sure? Where are you getting the info?

    I don't believe the sales count toward rank on launch day, BUT, with that said, maybe the pre-order lets people know to get ready and all buy around launch day. Because I know pre-order ranks fluctuate as sales come in.

    Either way, great job. Keep it up.

    I don't have a thread to point at Paul.
    However for the two preorders I've done come release day they both have spike way up the lists. As opposed to the other books which didn't have preorder, now part of that could be I have more people waiting for my books, but with the preorder numbers being what they are it is a more solid bet.

    But why would you also get rank when the pre-order is first bought? I think you just have a big fan base waiting on the books and know to get them as soon as they come out.

    As I said, either way, great job. Keep it up.

    I kind of want to believe its your scenario as that would be awesome.

    I don't know if that's right though as without preorders the first day of sales while really nice weren't enough to take those 3 spots to #1 even as briefly as I did.

    Thanks Paul, I'm doing my best. I really love hearing back from people who have read and loved them, it gives me the energy I need to keep going.

    I thought Blaise had the title of God-Emperor.....
    Can I be the play-thing of the Goddess of Lust instead? Oh wait I should ask @Eden Redd if she would have me first...... Heh.:p
