Jeff Belle, vice president of Amazon Publishing, stated that they discovered McQuestion's books through the use of Kindle and sales data, as well as through positive reader reviews. As of February, 2014, ''A Scattered Life'' has reportedly sold more than 190,000 copies. McQuestion's novel, ''The Long Way Home,'' was cited as being one of Amazon Publishing's greatest successes, having sold more than 200,000 copies as of November 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/59930-amazon-publishing-more-than-bricks-and-mortar.html )〕 ==Works== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karen McQuestion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
