Book just took off. What happened?

Okay, fellow writers and internet sleuths, my new book Influential Magic came out about ten or eleven days ago. It's done okay. A nice start, then tapered off to around ten sales a day on Amazon. It went up to around thirty when I ran my BookBub ad on Sunday for another book in another series. So the last three days it's been selling nicely.

But then this morning, I woke up to a ton of sales. It's over 150 already today. I can't figure out the reason (and I really want to know so I can duplicate it if at all possible). One of my friends said she got an email highlighting my other books (she already bought Influential Magic just after it launched). So is this Amazon's targeted emailing, or am I missing some high profile blogger somewhere? I Googled, but don't see anything to account for this action.

Any ideas???

Magic?

No idea but congrats, anyhow! That rocks.

I am super helpful.


I have no idea but I wish you continued success, Deanna! :)

You're the one writing about magic. Why are you asking us?

And my Google-Fu found nothing. Might just be one of those things, a post Bookbub bounce that you should thoroughly enjoy/take advantage of as much as you can.
"Buzz" has kicked in. Never estimate the buzz factor. May the force be with you and congratulations! Your hard work is paying off.
I'm with Nathalie.

No, really, I'm with David. Don't try to fight it. Just run with it. :D
When you find, please let us know.  :D

You might want to Google searches like "influential Magic book review" to see if one of the big blog/book review sites picked you up.
Congrats! Did you mention the name Hugh Howey, by any chance? That seems to make things happen. ;)
I only found those:

Maybe it got featured in Amazon's New releases for category or ''People who bought this also liked..'' for a huge selling book.

Anyway, serendipity at work, congratulations. Hope it won't stop! ;)
Thanks y'all! I just found out the answer. Amazon sent out a targeted email comparing it to one of Debora Geary's Witch Central books. Whoa. I might pass out now.
That should drive a few sales!  Good for you!

Very Cool.  Congratulations.

It really was magic, though I'm letting Deb's witches take the credit. ;)

Nice! I'm pretty sure that's the same as magic.
Congratulations, Deanna!
