Okay, so “We’re Number One“ is a lot cooler and easier to chant, but for one brief shining moment on Sunday morning my first novel, Mayhem at the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort, came in at number 384 on Amazon in the Women’s Action and Adventure Fiction category.
And I know what you’re probably thinking—“Leslie, dear, there are likely only 384 entries in that very narrow category…”
However, having tracked my book since it was first published I can assure you that’s not the case. I broke into the top 500 about a month ago after being well above 1,000 for the longest time. And even as I write this I’m back to #505, so it’s always changing. I can’t get too cocky.
I’m wondering if there’s a category in which Mayhem might be number one? How about Women’s Action and Adventure Fiction Featuring Quirky Jugglers? I’d almost bet I’d be in at least the top five.
Peace, people.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
384 is certainly worth a celebration. Congratulations!

😘 Thank you! Cowboy is doing ok. It isn’t getting quite the readership yet that Mayhem has. I think the cover isn’t attracting romance readers, but it’s what I could afford…

Thanks! Of course I don’t think the category I’m listed #368 in is that huge. I wish I’d paid attention to such details from the beginning so I’d have a better idea of the size of the category. But I’m celebrating anyway!

You’re #1 in my book. Not that my opinion matters. Yours is also a grief book, more so in book 2. Anyway. You are my role model for sure.
