  • Author Shawn Warner was looking a little defeated during a book signing waiting to autograph copies of his new debut novel “Leigh Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons-Pierce Manor” when a TikToker named Red walked over to give him some support - and it shot to No. 1 on Amazon’s Best Sellers list! TODAY’s Craig Melvin shares the Morning Boost.

    Now that's being an 'influencer'. So sweet of the Tiktoker and so happy for the author. They deserve the best!

    i read books everyday. i bought and read this book because it says #1 on amazon. after finishing it i googled "why is leigh howard... popular" because personally, the book is not great, just ok. im pretty disappointed that this is the real reason why the book is "great".

      Not really. Most people didn’t know about it before the video so it would make sense that the sells went up. Second just because it went viral doesn’t mean people only care for the moment. The author is older so he might not have known how to get in touch with the internet to market it himself. The book has lots of real great reviews so

You have so much rage for trending topics but yet you’re here on this video…. Typing away……. It’s very much given I did something and I got no recognition for it and I seen somebody blow up and I hold envy. Say what you really mean and move on.
