A 12-second TikTok turned a book that Lloyd Devereaux Richards took 14 years to write into an international best-seller.
This story went viral over the past few weeks for its heart-warming nature and result. Richards’ daughter made a TikTok detailing her fathers 14-year journey writing the book, the 11 years since its release, and a simple ask to her followers to see if they would be interested in buying the book.
After a few weeks and millions of views and likes, Stone Maidens is now No. 1 on Amazon’s books bestsellers in Canada and the US, even surpassing Prince Harry’s memoir.
Stone Maidens — a whodunit in the oeuvre of Michael Connelly novels — follows an FBI agent as she attempts to unmask a serial killer in Indiana.
