One Million Books – Signed Blood Song First Edition Celebratory Giveaway

By Anthony Ryan

This week I carried out a long overdue review of my sales figures and it turns out that, thanks to The Empire of Ashes, I’ve now sold over one million books in English worldwide. It all feels a bit surreal given that it doesn’t seem that long ago when I wrote this post about reaching the what I once thought to be the impossibly out of reach goal of surpassing ten thousand sales, but I guess six years is a long time in publishing. 

As a thank you to all my readers for making this happen I’m running a mailing list giveaway for a rare signed US first edition hardcover of the book that started it all – Blood Song. The giveaway is open to all existing mailing list subscribers and anyone who joins the list before midnight GMT on July 31st. The winner will be chosen at random and notified on August 1st.

Click here to join the mailing list.

For all the data freaks out there, here’s a percentage breakdown of those sales by format:

Ebook – 51%

Audiobook – 21%

Mass Market Paperback – 16%

Trade Paperback – 7%

Hardcover – 5%

Blood Song – Signed UK Hardcovers

By Anthony Ryan

I was hoping to announce that signed, stamped and numbered copies of the UK hardcover edition of Blood Song would be available from Goldsboro Books in London, but sadly they sold out of all 100 copies on pre-order before I realised it had been listed. However, they tell me they’ve ordered another 50 copies for me to sign, although these won’t be numbered. These will be sold on a first come first served basis so, if you want one, place your orders now: http://www.goldsborobooks.com/search.php?q=blood+song.

Also, I’m now on Twitter if anyone would care to massage my ever fragile ego with a follow: @writer_anthony.
