Unknown Author's First Book Dramatically Rises To Amazon No.1 Best Seller on First Day of Release
Jasper Cooper, an unknown author from Canterbury in England, launched his first book on Amazon.co.uk yesterday. It rapidly rose up the best seller list to the number 1 position. The book, called Candara's Gift, is the first of the Kingdom of Gems Trilogy, a fantasy adventure for children up to adults.
Canterbury, Kent (PRWEB) June 16, 2006 -- Jasper Cooper's first book, Candara's Gift, rose to number 1 on the Amazon.co.uk Best Seller List following it's launch yesterday. Within a few hours it was outselling 'Harry Potter', Dan Brown, and even 'Pele: The Autobiography' during the World Cup. It hovered at number 2 for a few hours before rising above the 'Dangerous Book For Boys.'
This new fantasy adventure is the first book of a trilogy called The Kingdom of Gems and is gripping the imagination of children from 9 upwards. As with Harry Potter, adults are enjoying it too. It is illustrated with original and exquisite drawings and maps as well as a beautiful oil painting of the magical kingdom. All these are also produced by the author, who did everything himself except the printing.
The dramatic meteoric rise of Candara's Gift up the Best Seller List has the hallmark of a book that will soon be enjoyed on a world-wide scale with the further books in the trilogy being looked forward to with eager anticipation. The second book, 'The Silver Well' is expected to be released later this year, with the third, 'The Glass Prison' in 2007.
Harry Potter and the Narnia stories have been translated successfully into films, and now it seems inevitable that Candara's Gift will follow.
