| 11/05/07 Double Edge Press Title on Top 10 Bestseller List Third Time in Three Months. |
Double Edge Press Publishing announced that one of their titles, Conviction, a
sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice by Skylar Hamilton Burris was again
on the top ten bestseller list for Religious Romance for Amazon/Waldenbooks
online sales. The title previously was on the top ten list twice in August of 2007,
topping out at number five, and hit the number 10 position again on November
2, 2007. Visit http://doubleedgepress.com for a pdf snapshot taken on that
date to see the actual ranking.
Rebecca Melvin, CEO of the small Pittsburgh area based publishing house, is
pleased with how well the title is doing. “For a first time author published
through a small independent publisher, I think its success is unprecedented. I’m
not surprised, however. It is a very well-written story with great attention to
detail, which followers of the genre demand and reward when they find it.”
Skylar Hamilton Burris is at work on a second novel, but its release date is
unspecified. “We don’t demand a time-frame from our authors,” Melvin explains.
“We get first option on their next book, but we don’t believe in giving them a
deadline. It’s my belief it tends to interfere with the creative process and keeps
a writer from producing their best work. I’m sure hers will be well worth the
wait when she completes it.”
Rebecca Melvin goes on to say that she expects the title to sell very well for
some time to come. “It seems to still be picking up momentum, rather than
peaking. I imagine 2008 will see even better sales for it.”
Conviction was only the fourth title Double Edge Press put out when it was first
published in April 2006. Since then, the small independent publisher has more
than doubled its catalog, and has two further titles scheduled for early 2008. It
specializes in Christian Friendly books, which they define as books having a
Christian World View, but not necessarily a pointed Christian message.
