Most Sold Novel Novels & Stories

“I’m looking for some books for my fiancée, but I’m not sure what she likes to read.” The sales assistant tilted her head thoughtfully. “Well, we have a wide variety. Perhaps I can suggest some classic novels? They’re always a safe choice.” Jack nodded, feeling a little more confident. “That sounds like a good idea. Can you show me some?” The sales assistant led Jack to a shelf filled with novels from different eras and styles. “Here are some classics,” she said, picking up a volume. “This is ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Jane Austen. It’s a love story that many women adore.”

Chapter 8: Butterflies ROYAL POV “FORSAKEN was my record-breaking novel. I put my blood and sweat into it and I couldn’t believe it when it sold like crazy. It earned me the title of the Best Selling Author for the first time. I am glad to say the title had stayed home for the past two years.” She beamed, and I swear the whole screen lit up with life.

But I couldn’t lie, I was fucking happy to see that she was up there in the clouds making a name for herself!

With her recent acquisitions not even breaking the digital e-book top-twenty list, she was desperately trying to climb out from under an uncomfortable and uncharacteristic slump. Anna was still recovering from passing on another first-time author’s vampire novel because she felt the genre was as cold and dead as the main character. When it shot to the top of the New York Times best-seller list, then optioned for a television series, she had to fend off several letters of resignation from the agent who had recommended the novel as well as ten other agents who all thought anyone over the age of thirty was a literary dinosaur.

Marcus explained, his enthusiasm infectious. "We hit number one globally. Not just the New York Times list, but every major list in the world: London, Tokyo, Sydney. We are selling a million copies a week, Sam! You are the biggest author on the planet right now." I was stunned. I had barely thought about the book in weeks. The fictional drama had become a terrifying reality, yet that reality was fueling the success of the fiction. "But... but with all the scandal, doesn't that hurt the sales?" I asked, bewildered.
