Robert Rankin Books Sell More In One Day Now, Than In A Month Before

Last weekend, Robert Rankin attended the London Film And Comic Con, to launch the remastering of his previously published novels.

Last weekend, Robert Rankin attended the London Film And Comic Con, as did I. And quite a weekend it was for the comedy sci-fi and fantasy writer. Because, as I had previously reported, comic book writer, novelist and screenwriter Tony Lee, also running the Comic Zone at LFCC, had been remastering and rebranding Robert Rankin's previously published novels for the Kindle platform on Amazon. Tony Lee has become enormously successful in writing and publishing prose novels of late, crime books under the pseudonym of Jack Gatland, and has been keen to share the lessons he has learned. But for Robert Rankin, an author who he credits with his very survival at a vulnerable time, Tony Lee got his hands dirty and did the job itself.

As a result, in one day this weekend, Rankin noted that his books were selling as many copies online as they might usually have sold in a month. That's an increase of thirty times the usual sales. To the extent that Rankin thinks he may actually benefit from putting the prices up a bit. So, maybe, get yours now…

As for his next novel? Robert Rankin is currently halfway through his next book, The Princess Of Penge, with Bridgerton/Pride And Prejudice-influenced fantasy fighting in and around Brighton.
