There are moments in an author’s life that stop you in your tracks.
For me, this was one of them.
When I first wrote Dust and Inheritance, I had no idea how many readers would connect with Millie Caldwell, Clem Spyker, and the rugged Montana land that sits at the heart of this story. I hoped people would enjoy it. I hoped they would feel the dust, the tension, the stubborn pride, and the quiet strength of a woman determined to finish what her uncle started.
But what happened next was bigger than I expected.
Thanks to so many readers downloading, reading, sharing, and supporting the book, Dust and Inheritance reached new heights on Amazon’s Best Seller Lists.
And yes, I stared at the screen for a while. Maybe more than once. Maybe like a man checking to see if the refrigerator light really goes off when the door closes.
During the promotion, Dust and Inheritance climbed to:
#1 in 20th Century Historical Romance eBooks
#3 in Western & Frontier Romance eBooks
#7 in Clean & Wholesome Romance
#69 in the entire Kindle Store Free Best Seller List
That last one is especially exciting because the Kindle Store is a massive category. To see Dust and Inheritance sitting among so many popular books was truly something special.
This success means more than just numbers on a screen. It means readers are finding the story. Also it means Millie’s journey is reaching new people. It means the Spyker Ranch Series is growing, one reader at a time.
And the best part? This happened because of you.
Every download helped. And every page read helped. Every share, recommendation, review, and kind word helped push this book higher. I am deeply grateful for that.
Dust and Inheritance is a story about legacy, land, courage, love, and the kind of determination that refuses to quit. Seeing readers respond to it the way they have is one of the greatest rewards of writing.
So, to everyone who downloaded the book, read it, shared it with a friend, left a review, or simply cheered it on from the sidelines, thank you.
Truly.
This is only the beginning for Millie, Clem, and the Spyker Ranch Series. I cannot wait to see where this road leads next.
And based on this response, I have a feeling the dust has only just started to rise.
