#Wwow - Checking Sales Ranks

It's book release day and what do you do? Yep! Check and recheck your book sales ... even when you tell yourself you won't! So, I'm here to share a few online sources for checking sales. Although I have heard it's not quite accurate, it is helpful to "calm" your nerves.

NOVELRANK:
Completely free for tracking book sales from Amazon (all domains).

Once you type in your book name, the site provides sales information:

You can also download Excel Spreadsheet format or check out Twitter and Blog searches.

SALES RANK EXPRESS:

Completely free sales ranking with searchable items.

You can search by your author name or book name.

I've also found this site useful for researching publishers and their sales ranks for recently released books.

Melinda Dozier is a contemporary romance writer. Her three debut novels were released in 2013: The Boy Next Door and Time Changes Everything from Entranced Publishing, and Breaking the Rules from Crimson Romance. Her latest release, Love and Other Games: Trouble With Gold was released last week from Swoon Romance. You can find more information at her website:www.melindadozier.com

Paloma BeckAfter a circuitous route, I rediscovered my passion for writing. I'm now a happily married carpooling mom writing erotic romance. It's almost naughty and I love it! I write both contemporary and paranormal romances that are anything but PG. I published my first book with Secret Cravings Publishing in August 2012, then branched into self-publishing in April 2013. I have many WIPs on the fringes. 
The Blue Ridge mountains have been my home for years though there's still a special place for New England in my heart. The lakes of Maine call my name and someday I hope to find my way back there. There's just nothing like sipping coffee in the morning out on a dock. As an admitted caffeine and book addict, I believe a daily dose of espresso and a good book make any day better.

Reading romance has always been at the top of Melinda’s favorite past times. After hectic days of teaching English to middle school students, Melinda finds time to write and read in the evenings. She lives in Guatemala, Central America with her husband, three boys and German Shepard. She enjoys being the queen of her household and dreams of being pampered fully by her boys once they are grown. Melinda loves reality t.v., traveling, blogging and playing Words With Friends.

After an amazing career as a veterinarian, I am now pursuing my lifelong dream of becoming a published author. On September 13, 2011, the first book in my Now and Forever series was released.  For the Love of Quinn  had been my baby for two years and I thank the Goddess daily that I listened to my friends and family who encouraged me to get off my butt and send it in to the publisher. Writing erotic romances has been a fantastic experience and one I hope to continue for many more years to come.  With the release of The Island (Now and Forever 2) on November 13, 2012 and the next three books in the series in various stages of editing and polishing before they are sent to Siren for consideration, my life has been completely taken over by my characters.  It’s become even more convoluted with the addition of two more pen names and all the characters that go with them, as well as continuing with publishing my poetry. 
I am a Midwestern girl who lives in California.  I feel like a fish out of water most of the time out here, but I have met a lot of people who help to make me feel a little less homesick for Michigan. With my wonderful husband and muse by my side, I know I’ll find HOME wherever we end up but at the moment it looks like we will be heading up toward Seattle, Washington after he retires next year from the Coast Guard. Who knows, maybe I will write another series set in that area. The possibilities are endless and I hope you all come along on this fantastic journey with me.

I have always had a passion for words, whether it’s getting lost in a book or writing my own. From the time I was a child I would slip away to write short stories about people I knew and fantasies I wished would happen. It has always been my dream to be a published author and with my two children now of school age, I finally have the time to work on making my dream come true.
I live in Georgia with my husband, son and daughter, our six cats and one black lab who rules the house.
