(PRWEB) December 5, 2003 - Figures released December 3, 2003 by Amazon.com for the month of November show a 392 percent increase in sales of the popular novel "My Fractured Life" by entertainer Rikki Lee Travolta.

The Travolta book is ranked in the Top 10 Featured Entertainer Biographies by the world e-commerce leader.

The December sales increase continues an upward climb of 455 percent from September to October.

Reviews at Amazon.com tie "My Fractured Life" with New York Times bestselling fiction title "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom, Pulitzer Prize winner "Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides, American Bookseller Association Award winner "Seabiscuit: An American Legend" by Laura Hillenbrand, and "Pleasure of My Company" by entertainer Steve Martin.

"My Fractured Life" is the stirring account of a promising artist whose life is cut short by suicide, as told from the point of view of the childhood friend who discovers the body.

On November 30, the Poughkeepsie Journal reported that Amazon.com and Borders Books and Music have entered into a multiyear extension of their e-commerce agreement which allows in-store pickup at Borders of "My Fractured Life" and related titles ordered online at Amazon.com.

Borders president Tami Heim stated that the partnership has resulted in ''a dramatic increase in sales through co-branded sites with no incremental marketing investment.''

Travolta defined the titled role in "Tony n' Tina's Wedding" around the globe, making it the longest running stage comedy in history. In 2002 he became the first member of his family to perform the role of Danny Zuko in "Grease" in over 25 years.

For a limited time, Travolta's "My Fractured Life" is being offered at 20% off by Amazon.com to holiday shoppers. Sales in groupings with other book titles, CDs, and DVD movies, allows customers to take advantage of Amazon.com's free shipping program for holiday gift purchases over $25.
