Anyone who enjoys reading probably knows about
the New York Times Best Seller List.
Certain booksellers send their stats to the NY Times and the data is compiled
to determine the placement of the top-selling books, both fiction and
non-fiction, each week. Regrettably the NY Times
has discontinued including category romance – romance stories published monthly –
from their lists.
However, two other important lists feature
category romance: the USA Today Best
Sellers List and the Publishers Weekly Bestsellers List.
Authors are always thrilled when their books “make” one of the lists. Editors
are happy too!
On Monday, I learned that my February release, Amish Safe House, the second book in the
new Love Inspired Suspense Amish Witness Protection Continuity, made the Publishers Weekly Bestseller List. I’ve
had three previous books recognized as PW bestsellers and am always touched by
the honor, most especially because having a book on the list means readers
across the country are buying—and hopefully enjoying—my stories.
Today, I want to say thank you to my wonderful
readers. You’re the reason I write. Your comments on Facebook, your reviews on
Amazon, your emails and notes of support mean so much to me. Often you share
details from your own lives, the highs and the lows. You allow me to pray for
your special needs and you keep me in your prayers as well. As important as it
is to have readers, I consider you even more. You’re friends. Close friends who
share a common love of story.
Thank you hardly seems adequate to express my
appreciation as well as my love for all of you! I’m humbled and so very
grateful!
Happy Reading!
Wishing you abundant blessings,

Debby, I'm so proud of you. What an accomplishment! I bought Amish Safe House at Walmart the other day. Can't wait to read it. I loved all your previous Amish suspense stories.

DeleteAll LI and LIS authors benefit when one of the books makes the list. And we have the readers to thank for their support! LI and LIS readers are the best! So faithful, so encouraging, so enthusiastic about our stories! God bless all of them!
Congratulations, Debby. I love this whole series and I'm reading your book now. Such a wonderful story.
ReplyDeleteYou're always so generous with your praise, Cate! Thank you! Writing is such a solitary profession, as we all know, and the creation of a story takes a long time without much positive feedback. It's nice when we hear something good about our work. So, as I've mentioned on this blog post, I'm grateful to you, dear friend, and to all my readers.
DeleteHugs and prayers!

DeleteDebby, I just finished Amish Safe House, and I have to say--well done! That was a very fast read. I kept turning the pages to find out what happened next. I loved the heroine and her two children, but I especially loved the hero, Abraham :)
