By Jason Boog 

Novelist Juliet Moore cracked two charts on our Self-Published Bestsellers List this week with The Beekeeper— a novel about “a trigger-happy young detective.”

To help GalleyCat readers discover self-published authors, we compile weekly lists of the top eBooks in four major marketplaces for self-published digital books: Amazon, B&N, Apple iBookstore and Smashwords. You can read all the lists below, complete with links to each book.

3. Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines: “To want what you’re not supposed to have… She is only nineteen. She is his new stepfather’s daughter. She is still naïve and innocent due to spending the last three years taking care of her sick mother.”

4. Lily’s Mistake by Pamela Ann: “Lily Alexander was always in love with Drake Tatum before she even knew what love meant.

5. Break Me Slowly by Joya Ryan: “Graduate student Katelyn Gunn is headed for her first day of assistant teaching when she is almost hit by a car.
