Amazon.co.uk has just announced that Lee Child is the most successful British Kindle book author worldwide, followed by me and Ken Follett.
The company has released a list of the top-10 bestselling UK-born Kindle e-book authors, based on purchases from 1st January 2011 onwards in the US, UK, France, Spain and Italy.
Lee is great but truth be told he's way behind me in terms of UK sales. The bulk of his eBook sales have been in the US, where I don't sell that many.
Anyway, here's Amazon's top 10 of British authors.

Congratulations Stephen! Well deserved. Love your books.
Very well done Stephen! That must feel great to be only one step behind Lee!
Are you going to CrimeFest this year?
And you're representing the North! Well, almost ;)
Thanks all! @Dean - Nope, I won't be in the UK!
Very well done Stephen,Love your all books.Thanks sharing...
That's great Stephen. Got fed up with Lee Child a while ago. But not so with your books. Carolyn
I think that is just great!!! Your hard work, shows above ground. Some say luck, I'd just say hard-work-blessing. Keep going Stephen. You also have the boon of a great surname.
thanks

Hi Steve
I was about to thank you myself. I've been watching a spike in the ebook sales of my first book, ESCAPE The True Story of the Only Westerner to Escape Thailand's Bangkok Hilton as I couldn't account for it other than now. I think the rise in sales of your ebooks has clicked people onto your websites and blogs, some of which have a link (thanks again!) to Escape.
Thanks, too, for your rundown on the paths taken tghrough the virtual book world. Certainly answered most of my questions and reiterated the truth that there may not be such a thing as a free lunch but short-lived snakcks are on offer every quarter.
The success couldn't happen to a more deserving scribe.
