Amazon Sales Rank
I have discovered a thing called Amazon Sales Rank. Apparently as sales of your book occur in relation to sales of other books on amazon the book is ranked. I researched books and determined that a score of 100,000 or less is pretty good, whereas once it reaches over 100,000 your sales have really dwindles.
This is also the same for Kindle though there are less kindle books and competitine therefore easier to get a better ranking.
This weekend I realized that “Longbourn’s Unexpected Matchmaker” reached a page rank of 19,156 on the booksales and 9,686 on the Kindle rating. I am super pleased with these rankings, especially considering I am just figuring out all of this stuff. Too bad I can not go look at all ofthe ranking to see if it went lower and I just missed it. Unfortunately you have to sit and watch the rankings in order to know if they go up or down. I wish I had that kind of time, but alas I do not so I will just let you know what it is at as I see it.
Overall I am very pleased.

Emma Hox has always been an avid fan of Jane Austen’s novels. Although her favorite novel, she has been disappointed in Pride and Prejudice’s Mr. Bennet. Longbourn`s Unexpected Matchmaker gives the witty father of Elizabeth Bennet the personality Emma always envisioned he should truly have.
Emma is a member of the Jane Austen Society and a Jane Austen writer’s guild. She speaks to youth groups about becoming the women they dream of being, using the Jane Austen Heroines as examples. Emma explains each of the characters have personalities and flaws any female can relate to, admitting her own character match would coincidentally be Jane Austen’s Emma. She teaches the young women that each one of them has strengths and weaknesses and shows them how to learn and grow with confidence.
Emma was born and raised in the farmlands of Eastern Washington and is a graduate of Central Washington University in Ellensburg.
Married with two boys ages 5 and 2, Emma and her family love to sail and spend time on the lake on weekends. The author mostly enjoys sitting on the bow of the boat in the shade of the jib to write.
