While having a look at the sales figures for my books on Amazon this morning, I noticed that the first Archibald Lox ebook -- which is FREE to download -- had sold several hundred more copies than usual since yesterday, and shot back to the #1 position on the UK Amazon chart for Free Children's Fantasy Books. Intrigued, I did a quick online search, and the surge in sales appears to be linked to this listing on hotukdeals:.

Many thanks to the user who posted this listing. Sites like this can really make a difference in raising a book's profile -- a fan in Australia posted a, Archie link to a similar site there last year, which resulted in loads of additional downloads and hopefully introduced my new series to a lot of people who hadn't yet heard about it. So, again, thanks to "orciM" for the unexpected boost!

Right -- that's Australia and the UK covered. Who's gonna take charge of the rest of the countries in the world?!? :-) :-) :-)

Just in case you're one of the people yet to make the acquaintance of Archibald Lox, it's a good time to step onboard -- I released the first three books last year, and the next three books will be going on sale in July, August and September.
