And I agree . . . I've had blurbs in Cosmopolitan and US Weekly and decent plus in Women's World (a feature) and American Girl (same thing) . . . and didn't see my sales rise that much--but then had one book that just slammed my email full of reader letters on how much it touched them--and that one had my strongest sales. And my publisher didn't do much promo for it.<BR/>EErica Orloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16415925758466527671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-38009021759161403632007-09-13T16:19:00.000-05:002007-09-13T16:19:00.000-05:00I became a huge fan of the J.R.

Matter of fact, she's suggested other books I've really enjoyed as well -- maybe she's the one who suggested Twilight to me before I suggested it to Mary. :) Can't remember -- brain is tired.Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-62677893880905101252007-09-13T11:38:00.000-05:002007-09-13T11:38:00.000-05:00I also find it very interesting how those stats an...I also find it very interesting how those stats and runs work.

I have RIDING THE STORM in my TBR because I've been reading the authors' blogs and have been following the path of publication. I read GODS IN ALABAMA because it was recommended to me. <BR/><BR/>I try to spread the love, too. I've recommended Eileen Rendahl's books, Lori Handeland's, and of course, Noodler books!MJFredrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881706931355203700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-44938350916820935972007-09-11T11:20:00.000-05:002007-09-11T11:20:00.000-05:00Most of the books I buy are because I've previousl...Most of the books I buy are because I've previously read and enjoyed that author's work, but many of my other purchases are based on something I've read online--an interview, a blog remark, a review (yes, horrors, a review!).<BR/><BR/>Charity, I'm glad you figured out what was driving your traffic. I'm usually mystified when someone "finds" me.

That's exactly how it happens so often. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes it's the cover that draws me to a book, but most often all it takes to make me scramble for the shelves is to hear that someone simply liked a book--a character, a setting, a theme.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271454163876281736noreply@blogger.com
