Last night was a ton of fun with David's selling of his 500th copy of 33 A.D. and my best kindle day ever. Let's hear from everyone on some of their reasons to celebrate. It could be anything from this week; your first review, your first sale, your first 10 copies sold...whatever you feel proud of no matter the size of the achievement! I must have spent all of my mojo yesterday cause I'm getting a big goose-egg for today, but I don't mind. I want to celebrate your successes!

Virtual Party Time!

Oh, and my girlfriend's sister had a baby boy on Monday! So as soon as I marry Estee, I will have five nephews and a niece, plus the "nieces and nephews" that are my friends' kids.

Well... it's not a reason to celebrate YET, but as of today, I've sold 976 copies of my fantasy novel Firefly Island.  I hope to soon begin a countdown to the big 1000, and then it'll be party time.

What a great idea - I'll join the 'virtual pub'

Two pieces of fairly exciting news - had my interview with Jenna Johnson published and got a mention on Red Adepts blog  Grin

Also not sure whether this counts but Robbie and I will soon be hearing the pitter pat of tiny little feet at our place.... not us but our cat Jazz is pregnant, I love kittens  Grin

Cheers,

No book news, but I'm still on the right side of the ground. Cheesy (if you knew my life's story, you'd understand).

Thank you much Jason. I'm about midway through Synthesis now. My air conditioner went out today so I've been pretty much having a heat stroke all night, but now that it's fixed; I am cooling off, settling down into my chair, and getting back into your book!

while typing this my wife just asked me if I wanted a red beer. This is my celebration moment for the evening!!!!!!!  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I just did some figuring: since I released TURNING BACK THE CLOCK on October 31, 2009, I've sold 237 copies -- trade paperback and digital -- of all my books. That number may seem paltry to some, but you know, I'm proud of it.

Congrats Imogen!  And Daniel, that's great that you've sold that many of Firefly Island!  Woot!  We'll be counting down to 1,000.

I'm two sales away from 700.  Wheeee!

And John, 237 is nothing to sneeze at.  That's a pretty big group of people who have read your book.  It will only grow from there.

Hey John, I think 237 is an encouraging start; maybe you can help turn sports fiction into a major genre, become the sports writing guy.  Smiley  Sounds like there's a lot of potential there.

Let us know when you hit 700, Vicki; we'll celebrate!
