Hitting the USA Today Bestselling List


Here on the hot sand is Kim Hornsby, who's gathered together a bunch of BRA authors in a Christmas Romance anthology box set. Read on to see what they are doing with this set!


 Hello Readers: This month, a group of us are trying to reach USA Today Bestselling Author status. A lofty goal, I know, but not unattainable or undeserving, I believe.
I put together a box set of 12 Christmas novellas. Some sweet romance, some sexy, one a mystery, one has a Marine, one has a coffee farmer, one involves jurors, one a cowboy, another has hockey players, one a photographer. All have Christmas and happy endings.

If we sell a ton of these box sets, it might happen that our set reaches the top 150 books sold that week. 
It's hard for Indie authors to achieve this because you need money to buy ads to drive sales and the big publishers have the money to buy their authors BIG ADS.
Sad but true that an author can buy their way to the bestseller lists. Money buys ads, ads sell books.

On November 14th, our box set, Romancing the Holidays, loads to Amazon and the book becomes available to the public. That's our official launch day but you can purchase your copy now and have it automatically delivered to your inbox. That's called a presale and as of today, we have 800 presales reserved by readers. We need at least 4,000 sales to hit the list and just might make it. We have $1,000 worth of ads coming out Nov 14-18 to boost sales for the week that counts our sales to see if we make the top 150 books published that week. This is the closest I've come to this strategy working. My first box set in 2015 got really close but we didn't make it. WE had a ton of fun trying and gave over $1,000 to breast cancer.

Please, please, if you can spare 99 cents, and would like to see the underdog win something, consider buying your copy of this set of 12 novellas, even if you don't read romance. We are donating a big chunk of proceeds to Breast Cancer Awareness again and that’s even another reason to buy a copy of Romancing the Holidays. 
Here's where to buy your copy!
