And I’m surprised, elated, incredulous…I could keep going but I’ll refrain. I’ll just leave this right here – An Amazon TOP NEW RELEASE screenshot in my YA category…
I don’t know how it happened, it just did. And I didn’t even know it until a friend called and said “Did you know you are a Top New Release on Amazon?” Umm…no, I didn’t. Obviously I wasted no time jumping out there to check. And Holy Guacamole. It really happened. So I snagged a screenshot for proof, because I could barely believe it myself. Still…
This is me, 100% too nervous to full-on buy into the fact that I just rose to the ranks of best-selling Amazon author, even if it was only for one day! It lasted all of 18 hours. BUT I CAN CLAIM IT, RIGHT? 👀
Even more bizarre? I received that lofty Top New Release banner THREE times in the space of a week. Each lasting a little less time than the first, but I didn’t care. I touched the top, no matter how brief!
Now I’m like…what am I supposed to do from here? Take out a front page ad in the biggest online brag about me site I can find? That’s possible, I guess. But I think I’ll just leave the back cover copy here, along with an Amazon link, just in case you wanna go see what all this fuss is about. Then I’ll get back to work on the next Jenna Masters Adventure. 😃
Life is hard when you’re the only child of globe trotting explorers. And don’t you just hate it when some random prophecy expects you to fight evil?
“This story defines adventure! The winds of fate are blowing for Scott and Jenna, and the adventure is worthy of the big screen!”
Resigned: Being the only child of globe-trotting explorers is the worst thing ever. It’s a nightmare of home-school, missed dates, and being dragged to Brazil so often there’s zero chance of ever breaking the curse called Never Been Kissed. I’m Jenna Masters, sixteen, and the Patron Saint of Lost Causes.
Defiant: Enter Scott Henley. Eighteen, medical volunteer, and totally hot brainiac forced to join our expedition as punishment for being kicked out of Harvard. Twice. Except that genius IQ of his won’t help when it comes to enduring remote river tributaries and trekking through an isolated jungle to find a sacred site. It’s enough of a challenge just trying to survive.
Quest: Things go from bad to worse when a blind seer delivers a dire warning – A discovery looms, one surrounded in danger, chaos and fear. Evil seeks it, they must defend it. The path is set and the stakes are high. Sure, there’s that whole protection of a water goddess thing, but the menacing puzzle may prove more than a savvy traveler and resourceful history whiz can conquer alone.
Crystal Prophecy is a coming-of-age journey. It’s finding unexpected friendship, surviving a life-threatening adventure, and falling into a discovery that defies history. It’s a story of revelation and change, a hint of lost legends, and a quest to expose a long-hidden truth to the world.
