Adelaide Einstein Continues To Climb

April 13, 2008 - PRLog -- Adelaide Einstein, an independently-published comic novel by April L. Hamilton, continues its surprising rise up the bestseller ranks in Amazon’s Kindle store.  The novel hit the #10 slot in Motherhood on March 25 of this year, and since that time has gained enough sales momentum to reach #3 today.  Said Hamilton, "Even though Adelaide didn’t advance any further than the semifinal round in Amazon’s novel contest, it averaged 4.75 out of 5 stars across the 36 customer reviews it received.  Based on that, and the fact that many reviewers specifically asked when the book would be published so they could buy it, I decided to publish it myself."  Reviewer L. Guerrero gives the novel 5 out of 5 possible stars, saying, “Adelaide Einstein is a fabulous book filled with wonderfully believable characters.”  In his 5-star review Garry Buck adds, “This is the sort of book that I didn't want to put down because I wanted to know how it ended, and was sad when it ended because I wanted it to go on forever.”  

Adelaide Einstein’s popularity has now eclipsed Hamilton’s Kindle edition of Snow Ball, a dark comic mystery also independently published earlier this year, which has ranked as high as #5 in Amazon’s Kindle bestseller list under the heading of “Mystery”.  Both novels were released in trade paperback edition at the end of February.
