Candida. Nina. Me. This past weekend.
After a weekend of birthday binging, I’m quite literally pooped. On Saturday night my boyfriend arranged for some of our friends to provide me with the “royal” treatment. I have a friend who used to refer to me as Queen Jamye, and who once wrote a comic strip called Jamye’s Never Wrong, which is about as right as it gets, and so, for my birthday, Jonny had some friends dress up as queens and kings and royal bodyguards and well, we all got goofy, and fun was had..by almost all..but not all..which kind of sucks too. But yes, I had fun. Then last night consisted of dinner with the fam, at a surprisingly yummy place where I had some amazing halibut and a lot of wine. I don’t remember most of the rest of the evening which is a result of the wine, and is also kind of embarrassing at 32, but also quite lovely that I woke up without a single sign of a hangover - well, unless you count waking up fully dressed, over the blankets as a sign of the potential for hangover.
I also went online to look if my new book is up on Amazon.com yet, and it is! Crazy. It says it’s coming out two months before I thought it was..hmmm…

Amazon.com Sales Rank: ##308,562 in Books (See Top Sellers in Books)
What I love the most is the ranking. #308,562 in Books - crazy high and not something most authors would point out, but the fact that it’s already ranked means someone must have pre-ordered a copy, right? I mean I’ve seen other books with no ranking. Or maybe not. I wish I could find out what the highest rank is - like how many books does my ranking of #308,562 still beat out? And what could possibly be ranked higher than mine?
Okay, now because I’m obsessed, or something like that…
I found this one, find it’s a few years old, but still, now I know that I’m at least ahead of some 300,000 plus books..ironically it’s a rankings book.

and then I found this. It’s a friends book so I don’t want to say the name of it, but it’s even higher in the rankings (yes, and it’s a few years old too):

Amazon.com Sales Rank: #856,124 in Books
I’m happy to have my first book on Amazon, and to now know that I’m ranked higher then at least 500,000 other books. It makes me feel popular, even though I know it doesn’t make me popular. But I was never popular growing up, so I’m going to gloat in the glory of not being the last book picked. Truthfully, I’m even happier about my second title. I guess that means I should start writing it. Uh, yeah, good idea.
