What a Month

Good morning, Stroock's Books enthusiasts. Let's see what happened in the Middle East last night. Not much. Which is fine. We make no predictions about Iran Axis intentions. The easiest action would be to attack Israeli embassies and visible Jewish targets worldwide. Or...a combined mass missile strike from Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, etc etc. It all just depends on what message Iran wants to send and what kind of risk its willing to accept. Again, we said dark days lie ahead. Dark days are here. 

What a month. Kindle sales:

And here's KU:

Those graphs show our top ten sellers. These are all World War 1990 books + The Great Nuclear War of 1975. The blue line is World War 1990: Norway. While sales of Norway dropped toward the end of the month, the backlist surged. Interestingly The Final Storm is still outselling the typical backlist book by 50 %. Arctic Storm is seeing a small surge. Excellent. If they read the first book in the series chances are they'll read the next nine. As always, the top markets are the English-speaking world + Germany.* 

Conclusion: we should keep writing World War 1990 and Nuclear War books in English. To that end we had a good day yesterday with World War 1990: Thatcher's War and War Night: Stories of the Great Nuclear War of 1975. Ironically, in both books we worked on Irish chapters. In War Night we started a chapter about Taoiseach Liam Cosgrave as he learns Moscow has been destroyed. That's our foreign leader chapter. 

*European friends and fans assure us that Europeans prefer to read books written in European and that they are the exception.
