Musings & more….
I’m slightly late with this share but Artifacts, Dragons, and Other Lethal Magic (Dowser 6) made a bunch of bestseller and hot new release lists in May including #13 on the iBooks Sci-Fi & Fantasy list.
Whoot!
Thank you to everyone who preordered or bought the book in the first month of its release and therefore made these rankings possible. You all rock!
As I struggle to focus on work while prepping for Chicago and The Bookcon, I thought it would be fun to share a few snippets from the early reviews for Dowser 6.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave a review. It is very much appreciated (and helps keep the book visible to the retailer ranking algorithms).
