...and I just checked the metrics. According to the report, the book has sold very well so far, considering that I'm a relative unknown (outside of this blog, various stunts over the years and the occasional op-ed piece). Right now it's holding at around #90 in the survival biographies genre, and hovering about #1200 among all memoirs in the Kindle store. Not bad at all for a newly-minted book author eight days in.
I've gotten some feedback from people who have bought the Keeping the Tryst hardcover. Every one has commented on how readable it is, despite the 537 pages length. The font size and the cream-colored paper are very easy on the eyes, and that the chapters are divided into so many sections also makes the book readily digestible and fast-moving. One person read the entire book in two days.
At the moment, I'm quite pleased about what's happened since its release. I'm hoping that there will get to be some word-of-mouth and that others will consider purchasing and reading it. I never expected to be a bestselling author right out the gate and that probably won't happen. But a lot of people over the years have said that my story is one that many would find not just interesting, but captivating. I believe them, enough so that I worked on this book on-and-off for over a decade. I've said that if even just one person found reading it to be time well spent, then my task as an author will be successful. Based on the figures I looked at earlier, the book has smashed through that target... and how!
Keeping the Tryst is available in hardcover edition and in Kindle ebook format.
