It’s been just over a month since The Distomos was available to the public, and it has been doing surprisingly well!

In fact, I found out that out of over 26 million books,

Distomos Amazon Rank

I’ve cracked the top 300,000!

While that doesn’t sound *that* great (and it really isn’t), it’s pretty darn amazing to think about.

Thank you again to everyone who has purchased a book (not only through Amazon.ca), and helped support me through this wild ride of a self published novel.

ABOUT

Mankind has taken to the stars; maintaining their empires through the belief in God. Peace and prosperity are kept through Church-appointed Templars: the police of the galaxy. But when the Distomos, a secret weapon from the Church falls into the hands of the enemy, two ex-Templars, Kieran Rhet and Normandie Jade, are hired to get it back.

With only a matter of time before interstellar war begins and the Distomos is used, friendships, courage, and faith will be tested when all seems lost.

Now Available on the Nook!

Going into the fourth week of availability, my book, The Distomos, is now available on Barnes & Noble’s Nook as a “Nook Book!” (It’s still an eBook, but just with a fun name to say).

I’ve been looking forward for it to becoming available there! Better late than never!

And in case you missed out on the cool news from last week, check out the interview I did with the Brock Press.

I found out The Distomos has made #1 on the Top 100 Sales in ALL BOOKS and SCIENCE FICTION & FANTASY this MONTH on Lulu!

Distomos Ranked First

This has completely taken me by surprise! I have to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who has purchased a copy and have supported me through this journey!

It’s been a wild ride so far! I’ve been driving all across the city, hand-delivering books and stirring up excitement along the way. I had not anticipated how much labour I would be doing when selling. Of course the snow hasn’t helped. . .

I digress. I can tell you that I have already gone through a good chunk of my inventory and am ready to continue pushing the book into deeper channels! When I get a chance to next week, I’ll be hopping into local stores with my ISBN number to get the book out there further!

The whole self-publishing journey has been a great experience so far. I cannot express how happy I am with how it has gone. Now I cannot stop thinking about how I will plan my next novel.

As for this first week with The Distomos – it’s been a blast. I have been given so much love and support; it’s definitely overwhelming with “the feels.”

With that, don’t forget to follow me on Twitter and more importantly, spread the word around about the book!

What an exciting day yesterday was!

I drove around most of my city delivering the book to people who pre-ordered it, as well as sending many off into the mail to ship across the world!

To think: I get to do the same thing today!

I’m completely excited to continue to promote the book and get it into everyone’s hands. I even know that since yesterday’s release, one person is almost done reading it! Yikes!
