Self-published authors keep up their recent strong showing on this week’s e-book best-seller list, with three of them moving into the top ten.
All three titles in Deborah Bladon’s “Ruin” trilogy appear on this week’s list, a fifth of which consists of self-published titles. The other two include “The Arrangement 17” by H.M. Ward, which makes its debut this week, and Penelope Ward’s “Stepbrother Dearest.”
The last time the number of self-published e-books ticked upward on the best-seller list, it was accompanied by a drop in the average retail price of a best-selling ebook. Not so this week; that figure rises modestly to $7.63 from $7.36.
In the meantime, John Grisham’s “Gray Mountain” stays put at No. 1 for a second week in a row, with “Gone Girl” at its heels.
