Over the weekend, I got a sales report from Amazon for the month of July and I nearly fell off my chair! Stingray, by Bruce “Doc” Norton, sold several hundred copies. In fact, when I looked it up on Amazon over the weekend, it was ranked #1 in the Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Nonfiction > History > Military > Vietnam War category. Whoo hoo! That’s our first best-seller.
But it raises an interesting question: Why? What has turned this older title into a new best-seller? Was there a publicity hit somewhere? Has some Kindle-centered military college required all freshman to buy and read it? Was it put on the Commandant of the Marines’s Reading List. I don’t know the answer, but I hope the sales keep on coming.
Congrats, Doc!
