Ever since I approved my book, I’ve been watching Amazon like a hawk, and it’s finally available. I’ve got a link at the top and on the side, and here.
I officially “approved” the book last Wednesday, and that’s when it became available on CreateSpace. That also let me place my first order, which will be here on Monday, April 6th. Since then Amazon has slowly been building my product page. At first the only way to find it was searching for the ISBN, and then the next day you could find it by searching for my name. Then they added the product description, and finally today it’s available to be ordered. As of this posting there is still no cover image, but I’m hoping that is updated soon.
A search for my name on the main Amazon site ranks me 4th, and if you search books I come up 2nd. A search for “Terra Nova” brings in over 3,000 results, and I’m not in the top 100. A search for “Terra Nova the Search” and I come up number 1! That’s all sorted by relevance, which is the default search term. If you switch it to bestselling I disappear, which I assume is because I haven’t sold any on Amazon yet. I’m curious to see how my search rankings change over time.
Like I mentioned before, I’ve got 30 books coming in on Monday, and about 10 of those are already spoken for. If you’d like me to hold one please tell me. Otherwise, you can pick this up at Amazon! I’m sure I’ll make many more pathetic pleas in the future, but Amazon reviews are VERY welcome. Thanks to everyone who has been following me on this journey. I appreciate the support more than you can imagine.
Update: Picture is up! Woo hoo!

This is the hub for all your news and information about my current and future projects. I'd love to hear from you, and thanks for stopping by.
Very end of the description says “*Youth Edition – This version has been edited for a younger audience.” Something get mixed up?
Ordering 2 copies.
I was working on my youth edition, but the cookies were still active for the other version…so I accidently edited the description, and Amazon changed it.
I’ve changed it back, but I’m not sure how long it takes for Amazon to update the product description. Don’t worry, youth version isn’t even available yet.
Ordered the book, can’t wait to read. At first glance it sounds like SyFy, don’t take that bad, it is my favorite channel. I do want an e-book though, ePub is pretty universal, it is XML. I better get your autograph this summer though. I wan’t you to read my screenplay of the novel adaption that me and my friend wrote. I am so proud of you though for popping one out, like having a baby (as far as we guys know
).
Woohoo, just got shipping confirmation.
Cool. They updated the product description too. Seems to take about 24-48 hours or so.
Yesterday the book was up around #100,000 in sales rank, #59,397 this morning.
Yeah, it changes really often. The best I ever saw it was in the 20,000s on day one when I sold several. I think it’s more an indicator of how well has it sold that specific day than an all-time sales thing. Whenever someone buys it the sales rank shoots to a lower number, and then slowly climbs until another purchase.
I purchased my copy and am now waiting for it to be delivered. Should be there by the time I get home from work again in a few days. I’m very excited!
Cool Shannon! I hope you like it.
