Bestselling Author’s Website Tops 1 Million Hits

September 23, 2002

Even before most major search engines offer the address, the official website for bestselling author Kathy Reichs (http://www.KathyReichs.com) has drawn over 1 million hits in three months since the original publishing date. This unprecedented response from worldwide readers demonstrates a new and untapped internet capability in working closely with the international publishing industry.

The success of the new website is the result of a joint effort between publishers, publicists, web developers and the author herself. Book jackets, promotional literature and presentations by the author all reference the website. The result is a powerful new technique for promoting bestselling books and promotional tours, building reader loyalty and receiving reader feedback.

Published in 29 languages, the books written by Kathy Reichs represent one of the most successful international publishing efforts in history. Kathy’s website reflects this diverse appeal by displaying the first chapter of each book in the native language of the county along with information on local publishers and suppliers. New chapters are added as soon as they become available.

The success of the forensic thriller novels by Kathy Reichs is predictable. Her work as a practicing forensic anthropologist, one of only 50 certified in the United States, is internationally recognized. Each new story plays on an aspect of forensic anthropology and matter classification that Dr. Reichs has personally used in her work, allowing her main character’s work to be authentic beyond the creations of a traditional author.

Kathy’s website also offers keynote speaking schedules, background information on the author and specific information on each of her novels, details on forensic sciences and recent projects, interviews, and reader questionnaires which provide unique feedback for future projects.
