This is so cool, Matt. Good luck with the book.

That's great Matt! Feels good to release your baby I'm sure, but careful of that artist's postpartum thing. Happened to me for a good month after the release of my book. Don't wear out the keyboard checking sale's reports.
High five Margo or should I say High-five thousand. Very impressive.
Haven't checked my Kindle report in some time and was pleased to find 18 sales in the past month. Fine by me. Haven't done much in the way of pushing the book with all the crying (new little man!) going on around here.
Some new Squee News....I was invited to be part of a small press event at Powell's. I'm totally stoked to read and present at such an iconic establishment. If any of you are in the Portland area stop on by.

Sweet! Your site looks great. With those numbers you are guaranteed similar sales with your future releases of the trilogy.Guardian wrote:I never thought that any of my books is ever going to reach this, but on Amazon US, Anno Humanae Salutis (7 Post Meridiem XSS #1)'s present rank:

Re: The SQUEE GOOD NEWS Thread
On the advice of another writer, I'm trying to give Children of Sun and Moon an early boost to increase visibility. What she suggested, was a Facebook event to encourage people thinking about giving it a try to do so on Monday. If anyone here is interested, check it out (and any Bransforumers are always free to send friend requests, just let me know who you are if your name is different).

Re: The SQUEE GOOD NEWS Thread
I've made it halfway through a first draft. A microscopic "squee" in comparison to most everyone else here but a wow for me.
I do all my writing on a low-powered Acer Aspire One netbook, with a "lite" install of Windows XP that has the network drivers removed and no IE7 or Firefox. I use a full-screen text editor called Q10. It allows for formatting and indenting, on screen anyway, as when you open the documents in Notepad (they're just .txt files) the formatting disappears. But when done I plan on combining all the .txt files in Scrivener and printing that one long document, socking it away for some time and then editing with an old-fashioned red pencil. None of this fancy Track Changes stuff for me.
It's a YA sci-fi, total of 14 chapters each in a planned trilogy. I organized it that way because it's a sci-fi comedy (albeit with some heavy themes interspersed), and 14 x 3 = the answer to everything. I'll post more when done with at least this draft of book one.
