Overjoyed to tell you that YEAR OF THE RABBIT is still on the Top 10 Hot New Releases on Amazon. That's an entire week in the top 10, maxing out at #2.

A fantastic first release. I really couldn't ask for more. And it's all thanks to you. I'm truly blessed and humbled by how many of you were shouting this book's praise from the rooftops.

My understanding is that Amazon likes books that have staying power, much more than a quick spike and a quick fade, so hopefully the algo will be showing more people this new story in an old genre.

Now I'm turning to getting YEAR OF THE SHEEP out to everyone who has signed up for my Reader Group!

What's that, you ask? Well if you go to tddonnelly.com you'll be offered a free prequel to Year of the Rabbit just for signing up to my Reader Group.

What's a "reader group"? Well, it's a fancy word for an email list. About 2X a month I'll send you an update telling you how the next book is coming, when you can expect it, when there's a deal or offer to be had, sometimes I'll tell you about something great I just read, and lastly from time to time I'll have some other free giveaways!

All this and more, just for joining my reader group at tddonnelly.com

After getting Year of the Sheep out to the group, I'm deep in the writing for BOOK TWO: YEAR OF THE HORSE! Wanna know more about that project?...
..join the Reading Group. Do I have to spell it out for ya? Sign up. It's the best way to not miss a thing. And, I hope it goes without saying, but I will NEVER spam you, or sell your info. Not the way I operate.

Here's a link to my editor's blog, the hit Brit at Lit Crit, Rebecca Millar, who did an interview with me pre-publication. Enjoy!

I get to work with authors from all sorts of backgrounds, but some of my favourite writers to work with are screenwriters. They always have such a strong grip on what makes a great story. Of course…

You folks might be tiring of all this YEAR OF THE RABBIT stuff. I do apologize. It'll taper off fast...but...

We've been top 3 or 4 all week and today we just hit #2!!!!!

Thanks you all for your support. And I'm so glad you're enjoying the read! Just...ease off yelling at me to deliver Book 2...I'm working as fast as I can!😂

2nd day in a row sitting at #3 on the Hot New Release chart! And we're up against the 4th and 5th book in popular series!!! Thanks to all for helping YEAR OF THE RABBIT get where it is.

And thanks so much for everyone who left a review! It really helps Amazon know this book's worth putting in front of other folks who like a good thriller.

If you haven't left a review, please consider doing so (if you loved the book). Just a sentence or two and a click on a bunch of stars and you've really helped a debut author!

Hey folks! Day 2 update! The book is doing great business, thanks to you all who bought. I very much hope you love it. Early reviews suggest your will.

If you HAVEN'T bought yet, think about pulling the trigger today. The reviews, both professional and amateur, have been stellar. And it makes a great gift!

Helping with sales is Jeff Circle, a former contractor with USASOC who runs a site called The Dossier. If you want to find great thriller/military writers, The Dossier is the place to go. He and I did a little interview and he put together a Dossier for me! Check it out!

Today's the day, friends! Launch day. YEAR OF THE RABBIT is out on both paperback and Kindle. Available exclusively on Amazon for the moment.

In particular, we're seeing if we can't get the Kindle version to #1 in its categories today. Can you help? For the price of a venti macchiato, you can get a book that's getting great reviews, and help a friend out in the process!

Take a peek, and if you can, make a purchase today! And as always, keep writing, and keep supporting each other!
