For nearly 48 glorious hours this past week, The Spaces Between Us hit the #1 spot on the Amazon Bestseller chart for Literary Sagas.

There. I said it. It feels weird to type. Audacious.

Part of my brain, the part conditioned by a lifetime of fighting, wants to downplay it. To add a million asterisks. It was a Kindle chart. The rankings change every second. It was just a brief moment.

And all of that is true. But for a moment that stretched into two days, we were at the top. And in that moment, I felt things I rarely allow myself to feel: validation and a fierce, roaring pride.

It wasn't just about a book. This was validation against the relentless, grinding exhaustion of a body that hurts more often than it works. It was a counter-punch to the internal monologue of shame and self-hatred that sometimes screams at me so loudly that it's hard to hear anything else. It was a flare of light against the crushing weight of systems that are designed to fail the very people they're supposed to protect.

For so long, I've been writing about this philosophy I forged in the fire of my own life: Radical Resilience. It’s built on the belief that our scars can be our superpowers, that being "othered" is the source of our vision, and that when the world breaks, we build something better in its place. The Spaces Between Us is maybe the most potent distillation of that. It’s a story about two people broken by the world—Zahra with her chronic illness and Adrian with his own history of addiction—who find each other and decide to use what they have to build a "dignity-first model for change". It's not a story about "overcoming." It’s a story about succeeding because of the wounds.

To see that story, our story, hit #1 feels like the world finally listened.

And here’s the most incredible part. It wasn't just one book. In those 48 hours, over 200 of you downloaded copies of my other books, too. You grabbed the high-concept sci-fi of The Connectivity Hypothesis, the grimdark fantasy of Tides of Ruin, and even my no-BS self-help guide, Stop Hating Your Life: A Guide to Finding 'MOORE'.

You proved the theory I laid out in my brand concept: that the tide of one success can lift all the boats in the harbor. You saw the thematic DNA that connects all my work. You felt the pulse of Radical Resilience beating under every genre, and you decided to explore the entire universe. You’re not just readers; you are my incredible community, my found family.

This is the spark. The moment the revolution begins to feel real.

There’s a line I’ve woven into my music, a truth forged from my own story: "I am a phoenix, rising from the ashes, walking through the fire with a smile."

This week, because of you all, I feel the heat. I feel the flight. And for this rare, beautiful moment, I am smiling.

Thank you for sharing it with me. Let's keep looking for 'moore' together.
