A right Royal diversion

If, like me, you have OD’d on Easter chocolate and talk of Prince William & Kate Middleton‘s forthcoming nuptuals/Royal Wedding, then here’s a little light relief:

Sugar & Spice is 100 reviews old!

So, forget the Royal family getting all the love, 80% of the people that bought Sugar & Spice (and were kind enough to leave a review) gave it either four or five star lovin’!

Today is also a land-mark for us in a few other areas (no, I didn’t receive a belated invitation to Buckingham Palace for the reception) too.

We now have two books (that’s right, two) in the Amazon UK charts and categories. In fact, we have two books in the top 100 Police Procedurals!

 

To that, you can add number one in the following catagories: Thrillers & Serial Killers

 Oh and we’d also like to just mention, that we made #1 most wanted too (ok, it’s ‘most wished for’ but that doesn’t sound anywhere near as menacing!)

So, you could say, that we’re pretty happy! (Not to mention, still very shell-shocked)

It has been a wild ride since Christmas and we could never dare even dream of the success that we have achieved with Sugar & Spice…who knows what is yet to come?! Meanwhile, we still remain the only indie in the Top 5 on Amazon UK paid store and have now placed the US edition in the top 100 too.

A VERY big thank you to everyone who has supported us and bought the book. Don’t forget, Snow White Book One of the Rose Red Crime series will be out in the summer!

In the meantime, to buy any of the books mentioned above for Kindle or Nook, go here: http://sugarandspicethenovel.com

Oh and I almost forgot, Congratulations William and Kate for tomorrow, my apologies, but I won’t be able to make it… I’m kinda busy being a best-selling writer! 😉

Another #1

We made number one again, this time in Police Procedurals… 😉

Sugar & Spice finally makes number one in thrillers

Well, it happened once a few weeks ago for an hour… and that was it.

Since then, Sugar & Spice has lurked in the shadow of Stephen Leather‘s Hard Landing – until now!

We finally made it to Number One in Thrillers Kindle UK Store!

In fact, we now sit at Number One in three categories:

D’ya know what? I’m pretty chuffed! We’re pretty chuffed!

It’s not often you can claim to be above authors such as Wilbur Smith, Stieg Larrson and Lee Childs, so yeah, I think we’ve done all right! 😉

Sugar & Spice is now only £0.69/$0.99c, so get it now!

The great American debate

Today is a great day for girls on grass. A day that has been a loooong time coming for female footballers’ in the United Kingdom.

Today sees the launch of  The FA WSL (Women’s Super League) http://www.thefa.com/Leagues/SuperLeague .

It is the first semi-professional league created for Women’s football here in England and about time too! Hell, we’ll even be on TV!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1376179/Womens-Super-League-Your-team-team-guide-preview-new-season.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

What a great day for Ladies football and for the future of it, but why has it taken us so long to get here?

 The States initially recognised a professional soccer league in 2005, although it was temporarily suspended and re-instated in 2009, but Women’s Soccer is huge in America, with youngsters being given the chance to play from a very early age and gain scholarships through college etc. No surprise that the American National Team have dominated World Soccer since the 90’s (despite losing to England Ladies last week!!)

So, yet again, as with everything, we finally catch up and no-one is more pleased than I to see Women’s football getting the recognition it deserves. Afterall, we have fared better than the men’s team in International Competition for many years now. Big up to all the girls involved across the country and may the sport continue to grow!

So, my tenuous link here? The difference between the UK and The United States…

It just so happens that we have, just yesterday, published the US edition of Sugar & Spice on Amazon! (I’m good aren’t I? ;-))

You can buy it here for only $0.99c/£0.69p!

Amazon. com: http://www.amazon.com/Sugar-Spice-US-best-seller-ebook/dp/B004W0IJCU

Amazon.co.uk: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sugar-Spice-US-best-seller-ebook/dp/B004W0IJCU

So why did we do it? We keep getting asked why we have re-written S&S for the US market? Check out our guest post on Murder is everywhere for a full explanation:

It might be a hit, it might not. We have had mixed opinions about whether readers want a more familiar version of a British Thriller, but in-keeping with the great American Traditions and beliefs, we thought you might like the choice! 😉

Don’t forget that the UK version is still riding high in the charts and that has now been reduced to £0.69p!
