Sommer, we posted about the same thing! I promised Margo I'd help out yesterday, but then I dropped of the face of the earth. So today was the day.

Also, be sure to stop by for a discussion about short stories: http://harbingercodex.blogspot.com/2011 ... o-you.html

My Fifteen Minutes of Fame: Sales, Bestseller Charts & Mistakes

Yesterday I officially launched my first e-book: If You Go Into The Woods. If you haven’t heard already, you can read more about that here: http://davidgaughran.wordpress.com/2011 ... r-99-cent/

In today's post I cover my fifteen minutes of fame, how I raced up the bestseller charts on my first day, leapfrogging other unknown writers like Stephen King, Virginia Woolf, and some guy called William Shakespeare.

I also explain some of the mistakes that I made, and how you can avoid them, and finished with a little teaser for my next release.

Goodbye fame, I never really knew you,

I think it's time for a story that centers on the villain: http://harbingercodex.blogspot.com/2011 ... pands.html

My thoughts on the Minnesota politican who accused Neil Gaiman of theft for collecting $45,000 in speaking fees. I find this situation fascinating and while I probably could've taken a more neutral, Zen approach (WWND?), I didn't.
