  1st-time self-published Lynn Serafinn: Amazon best-seller day of launch
  

  NEWS FLASH!
  

  
  BEDFORD, ENLAND, 8 APRIL 2009. Bedford author Lynn Serafinn became an Amazon UK best-selling author yesterday when her debut book, The Garden of the Soul: lessons from four flowers that unearth the Self entered the top selling titles on the day of its launch on 7 April 2009, hitting as high as number 18 in its genres.
  

  
  Amazon's sales ratings are updated hourly. Books are not only rated in their rank according to their sales in "all books", but also within a range of different categories. If a book appears in the "Top 100" within any given category, it can be said to be a best-seller.
  
  

  The Garden of the Soul  achieved "Amazon Best Seller" status in the UK in the rankings at 1230 PM on Tuesday 7 April, the day of its official launch, when it ranked 25th in the New Age/Occult category (assumably because it contains content about Indian spirituality) and 28th in the Mind, Body, Spirit/Spirituality category. Later in the day, these rankings rose to number 18 and 21 respectively. It shared this list with authors such as the Dalai Lama, Rhonda Byrne, Deepak Chopra and Paul McKenna, and it is actually AHEAD of some titles by Doreen Virtue, Abraham (Esther Hicks) and Eckhart Tolle. All in all, it is mighty respectable company to be amongst, especially for a brand new author.
  

  
  In addition to this, by the morning of Wednesday 8 April, Lynn's book had also reached number 92 in the extremely competitive "Self Help" category, and its rankings in the overall books on Amazon reached an extremely impressive figure of number 1,494 amongst its many MILLIONS of books.
  

  
  ome words from Lynn:  All of this is extremely satisfying for a first-time, self-published author working on a complete shoe-string marketing budget and who owes all success to the collaborative efforts of her many colleagues on the social networks! All hail to the power of the world wide web! When it works, it really works. And all of that is just from the first 24 hours! The real work has only just begun.
  

  
  I am feeling truly grateful today. After two solid years of writing, rewriting, editing, proofing, marketing, coordinating and overall madness... the baby is finally born, and I now release it to the world. Just so you know how important each and every reader is to me, here is my "Artist's Manifesto", which I wrote in May 2007, and appears in the Introduction to The Garden of the Soul:

  
  "A artist is a person who has awakened to the thrilling realisation that the real meaning of what he creates can only manifest via the multi-coloured perspectives of those other than himself.

  I
  n this state of being, he releases his vision, unattached to its destination.
  

  
  Until that moment, he is not yet an artist, but a dreamer.
  

  
  The true beauty of his art takes birth in the things others see in it that he does not."

  Synopsis: The Garden of the Soul: lessons from four flowers that unearth the Selfis a book about becoming whole... Called 'as spiritual as Deepak Chopra and as magical as Paulo Coelho,' The Garden of the Soul is a journey on the 'path of least resistance to the Self' through the imagery of four flowers that represent four spiritual principles: 'Give' (the Rose), 'Receive' (the Iris), 'Become' (the Daffodil) and 'Be' (the Lily).
  
  Taking the reader on a daring and magical journey through the author's life and imagination--from stage fright and burnout in a classical music conservatory, to life inside an Indian temple, to a hidden life of domestic violence, to finding inner peace atop an old English footbridge--The Garden of the Soul explores birth, death, love, art, spirituality and transformation in an eloquent, poetic and ultimately unforgettable way. It is an open invitation to readers to explore how they are already the heroes of their own lives.
