As of right now - and based on the numbers I've been seeing in KU and sales, probably for most of the last week - Becoming Monsters Book 1: Growing Problems is in the Erotica (Kindle Edition) top 100, rank 86!!


Hold on, I legitimately need to find a paper bag to breathe into.


...


I...I'm speechless. I am completely overwhelmed, there is no whelming going on here. My book, the silly adventures of a girl with a dick hanging around a bunch of monster girls is in the same list as professional, big-time, major publishing houses novels. Sure, it isn't the NYT Best Seller List, but that bit of tripe hasn't mattered for 25 years. Amazon is the metric and...I'm there. My book is there! It is actually hilarious to see it listed next to all those serious novels: billionaire lover, rugged men for lonely women, taboo stepson...futa-girl and monsters boink in LitRPG dungeon!


I probably should have been looking sooner, but...well, I never thought it would matter, I stopped paying attention to a lot of this stuff a few months ago because it was getting depressing. However, once CENSORED hit the shelves, the response has been epic. I used to think I was pretty hot stuff when my KU pages hit over 2000 in one day, meaning, like, 4 people had finished the book. Since last week, my daily minimum has been 3000, with a new daily record of just a few pages shy of 10k! And the sales have been...a lot. The highest rank I've gotten so far in the entire Amazon Store ranking is 8772! I was celebrating when I cracked 30000, now I've been staying pretty stable in or around the top 10000!


I can't imagine this trend will go on forever, it has only been a week, but for right now, this tiny moment of time, I feel like a real author. It is such an amazing, humbling and wonderful feeling.


Thank you. Thank you all so much for making my dream real! Thank you for your kind reviews, for putting up your hard-earned money (especially in this economic crisis) and taking a chance on me when there are so many better authors to read out there.


I want to specifically thank Bandu at GoodReads for comparing me to Jim Butcher, one of my idols. I have finished Peace Talks and I'll talk more on that in my regularly scheduled post, but thank you for taking the time to read my story. Love allocation as well to Alvin Evans and Niffler, your stars make up my night sky!


Also thanks to Catherine Merchant for her critical review on Amazon. I never imagined I would connect with everyone and while I am sad you didn't like my book, I hope you have a better reading experience in the future. Finally, thanks a million to theusualuser for taking a risk and putting a review out on erotica! Hugs all around, you are beautiful for just making my day!


I need to get back to work, but this was just...I am so happy right now!! All of you, you lovely people you, I love you all!!


KEEP HARMONIZING!!
