My book stats! If you have an ebook & you're not on Amazon you're missing it!

It jumps out at you, direct your marketing at Amazon ebooks!

As much as I like Smashwords, I wrote about them April 9th, titled: Why isn’t Smashwords popular? The numbers don’t lie. Amazon is the place to sell your ebook.

Into the Basement

What I can’t explain is sometime around February this book took off. It has been in the #1 range almost every day since then. I published it November 22, 2006. It took five years to reach number 1. The reality is the ebook market has exploded.

It will be interesting to see the path my latest novel, First to Die, takes. Just released it in March. How long will it take to catch on? As a writer I’ve improved a bunch since 2006.
