Weird World War III: Sixth Week Sales Report

A Book Launch in the Time of COVID-19 and Cyberwar (Continued)

In the first six weeks since launch, BookScan reported a total of 250 Weird World War III US retail print sales.

Below are the BookScan US trade paperback sales as reported by Amazon for the period of November 9th through November 15th by geography. As a reminder, BookScan compiles point-of-sales data from ~10,000 retailers throughout the US, including Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, Target, and Buy.Com. Retailers such as Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club do not participate. As such, BookScan estimates that this point-of-sales data represent about 75% of all brick-and-mortar and online retail print book sales in the US. It does not include ebook sales, sales outside the US, sales to libraries, or used book sales.

According to Bookscan, Weird World War III sold 26 copies last week, which is an increase over the 20 copies sold in week five. I attribute this increase to multiple media appearances this week plus the ripple effect of appearing on Coast to Coast AM, which has a 2.75 million-person weekly audience.

Amazon reviews for Weird World War III continue to trickle in, even my first three-star rating–on my birthday.

Weird World War III Reviewed in Tangent

Kevin P. Hallett at Tangent Online just posted this very thoughtful review of Weird World War III today, which coincidentally is my birthday. You can check it out here.

“A fascinating way to see how different authors of speculative fiction approach a similar theme… This was an enjoyable collection of speculative fiction presenting several interesting takes on WWIII scenarios between the US and Russia. The overall quality was high.”

— Kevin P. Hallett in Tangent Online

Weird World War III: Fifth Week Sales Report

A Book Launch in the Time of COVID-19 and Cyberwar (Continued)

In the first five weeks since launch, BookScan reported a total of 224 Weird World War III US retail print sales.

Below are the BookScan US trade paperback sales as reported by Amazon for the period of November 2nd through November 8th by geography. As a reminder, BookScan compiles point-of-sales data from ~10,000 retailers throughout the US, including Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, Target, and Buy.Com. Retailers such as Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club do not participate. As such, BookScan estimates that this point-of-sales data represent about 75% of all brick-and-mortar and online retail print book sales in the US. It does not include ebook sales, sales outside the US, sales to libraries, or used book sales.

According to Bookscan, Weird World War III sold 20 copies last week, which is more than the 18 sold in week four. I believe the entirety of this increase is due to my appearance on Coast to Coast AM this past Sunday morning. As I mentioned last week, Coast to Coast AM has a weekly audience of 2.75 million people.

Amazon reviews for Weird World War III continue to trickle in, and all have still been four or five stars.
