With the release of Wildcats 2: A Rock 'n' Roll Odyssey, I have to thank a ton of people here at BigCloset. Let's start with all the wonderful readers and writers here. I appreciate your warm welcomes and assistance in this long journey.
When Dawn Natelle contacted me, I had published ten chapters of The Wildcats on another story site. She described BigCloset and felt my continuing chapter book would be well received there. I thought it would be a great opportunity to rewrite the first chapters of The Wildcats. Dawn even designed our original cover of the guitar and high heels and formatted the entire book. Each chapter received an amazing response and was educational for me to get meaningful constructive criticism and suggestions to help improve the story flow. This became a great writer's workshop for me.
Dawn introduced me to Eric who has been my major editor through this project and continues to work with me today as I'm almost done Metamorphosis: A Jessica Jade Story. Jessica is a spin-off character first introduced in Wildcats. It's going to be an exciting book to read when it's ready for your summer pleasure.
As you all read and supported me through the long and arduous task of finishing this book, I met Erin and we started talking about publishing Wildcats through Doppler Press. It gave me an incentive and an opportunity to spend last summer rewriting the entire book to make it ready for Amazon. It blossomed into a 600-page epic that Erin wisely is publishing as three volumes.
Many people read through chapters from the pre-published manuscript here at BigCloset and provided amazing suggestions. And then I was lucky enough to have the professional staff at Doppler make this book worthy of buying.
The sales and reviews have been gratifying especially when you consider most of them started right here. Doppler and BigCloset keep on rolling with each book purchased. It's rewarding to know the money stays right here on this site.
So, it's really because of all of you that both Wildcats and Wildcats 2 are at the top at Amazon. I am humbled and grateful. Thanks.

Wildcats 2 a sales leader at Amazon
Wildcats 2 is currently ranked at #3 in its category at Amazon Kindle, and the two books ahead of it on that list both have movie tie-ins!
At the same time, Wildcats 1 is hovering around #12, up from #17 two days ago, which was pretty special for a book that has been out for six weeks.
Here's a page link to both books: http://amzn.to/2FR1KZA
That should work for US, UK, CA and DE and may work for other Amazon markets as well.
Congratulations to Leslie and all of our authors and hugs to everyone,
Erin

since we're giving credit out for Wildcats success
Erin and Doppler Press have spent time and money making the Wildcats a success. I can do my best to write a good book but if it just sits there and no one notices, then it will wither and die. Erin has worked out how to make this book a success and I'm able to ride her coattails. It's a group effort than once again would not be noticed without all the readers on this site. Thanks, Leslie Moore

After reading the tease you sent me of Jade, I'm hooked. Can summer come fast enough?
Just started Wildcats 2, great flash back epilogue, reminding us of Book 1.
When I was reading WC1 on fm, I wondered why you weren't posting it on BC, then Presto, there you were. Leslie Moore, Thank you.
Actually...
If you open the link to #2... you will actually see the impressive little orange banner saying: #1 New Release!
Congratulations Leslie!! Since both books are Doppler Press releases, will we start to see either cover in the upper right hand corner of BCTS' home page?
Hugs,
Stacy
Soon
Piper does that task and she's a bit snowed under. :)
Hugs,
