So, how was May?

A big hello 👋 to the new subscribers who have signed-up to my newsletter via the link at the back of The Florentine. I apologise in advance for the bad puns.

So, how was May…

Well, The Florentine was finally released this month, and it had a Bookbub Featured Deal in it’s first month of sales, which means that it received a far bigger welcome into the world that any of my other books. That means more Kindle Unlimited readers, which means more reviews, which means more Audible listeners, which means more Kindle Unlimited readers, and the cycle continues…

You can spot the point when the Bookbub mailshot went out

Thank you to all of you who have left a review, it’s the single most powerful thing you can do to help out an author. As Grace Jones almost sang, we are all slaves to the (algo)rythm. If you haven’t left a review, please do, and be aware that reviews with more text are weighted more heavily by Amazon when calculating the star rating.

But before I end this short update, I have one important thing to say…

Cain will return, and I’ll let you know when pre-orders open (probably not for a few months)

All my best,

Tom
