Number 212 on Amazon in French Historical Fiction

Well known French actors: Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Chris O'Donnell and Oliver Platt.

My novel, The Fiery Salamander, set during the end of the French and Indian War in the Carolinas is ranked #212 on Amazon in the category "French Historical Fiction". I think that is pretty magnifique. There are a few elements in the novel that speak on the influence the French had on the  Carolinas during this period. First, there was a large population of French Huguenots that settled in Charleston and one of the characters,  Zarina Michaux, is from that distinct ethnic group. Also, there is  a French doctor character who is  based on a real person of the same name, Jean Cantzon. Dr. Cantzon lived in the Carolina backcountry during this era and, in the novel, tries in vain to save the life of one of the main characters. Also, the Shawnee in the book are French speakers.
At first glance, you might think that the ranking is a mistake, but when you look closer, it makes a lot of sense. I mean it's not the Welsh and Indian war, it is the French and Indian War.
