Publishers Marketplace has a handy feature for those with obsessive/compulsive issues. [Read: all authors.] You type in the ISBN of your book (of anyone’s book or books) and this handy system tells you your daily sales rank on Amazon and B&N. Sure, the numbers don’t really mean anything, but who the hell cares. This is a way to waste time and to worry about your book - which in my case means worrying about a book that doesn’t come out for more than two months. Very logical, I know.

For When Good Things Happen To Bad Boys, the chart for the last two weeks (yes, I have saved more weeks than that) looks like this:

01/15/06 Amazon # 54,327; BN # 30,371
01/16/06 Amazon # 99,926; BN # 29,626
01/17/06 Amazon # 63,592; BN # 24,260
01/20/06 Amazon # 45,978; BN # 22,063
01/21/06 Amazon # 30,379; BN # 22,378
01/23/06 Amazon # 27,607; BN # 22,242
01/25/06 Amazon # 105,132; BN # 17,465
01/26/06 Amazon # 22,134; BN # 18,347
01/27/06 Amazon # 26,544; BN # 18,347
01/28/06 Amazon # 49,924; BN # 18,209

Not too shabby. Thanks again to Lori and Erin and their faithful readers.
