I got the official results of one of my Florida Teacher Certification Exams today, and I passed! Despite the fact that I don't live in Florida, nor do I plan to teach there, I need to pass these tests to finish my Masters program, and they're fairly expensive tests that only get more expensive if you have to re-take them. So, yay! I passed this one and don't need to take it again!

That's all of my books, not just one. Turning Back The Clock is at 87 Kindle and 125 total (DTB and digital). So more than half has been from Turning Back The Clock.
Thanks, guys.

Reasons to celebrate... hmm... lemme see if I can think of one... Well, my wife is pregnant with our first child.  My first novel, 33 A.D. just sold its 500th copy yesterday. I have a new novel, GRUBS, which should go live any day.' And I have a bunch of awesome writer buds who hang out ar KB and come up with threads like this one. Heck, yeah! Pass me a Pina Colada! |

I did a quick count, and Weight of Blood is sitting at 940 Amazon sales (not counting any other channels here). I'll soon be able to throw my own little 1k party!

That's it exactly my friend. That's the main reason I started this thread. I have met so many amazing people here and I wanted a place where newly published writers can share and be as excited about their achievements, no matter the magnitude, right along side those that are getting ready to hit the 1000 book mark. This community is an amazing anomale of modern humanity. We hold each other up, we speak our truths, we celebrate together. I've said it before and I know I'll be inclined to say it again. I'm very proud to be a member of this board. Here's your drink as requested Mr. McAfee. Cheers!  |

Great thread, J.M. I had a bit o' the bubbly just now. But it was just fizzy water. I put it in a champagne glass and it tastes almost as good as the real stuff, but not quite. Cheers... I'll be sitting at the end of the bar if anyone is looking for me. Life is good. Nancy  |

Let's see. I've had a few great interviews the past two weeks, hit #58 on the bestseller list for HF (my lowest so far), have sold twice as many books this week as last week and have hit the midway point in editing my newest book.
Congratulations to everyone!

I can celebrate finally getting another chunk of Gravity (book after Convergence) back from my second editor, who's been AWOL until today. And sending another big chunk of a story I'm editing back to the author so she can review. And making Steve Ward happy with two new covers. Oh, and Apple (my parrot) FINALLY can say half of Supercalifragilisticxpalidocious with me on the first go after I say "Ready for super?" That was a milestone. |

Congratulations everyone! Congrats, Vicki - and I love that adorable emoticon! This is small, but yesterday I emailed a blogger asking her for a review and she responded, "I've been wanting to read your book ever since I first saw it! I would LOVE to review it for you!" Her enthusiasm thrilled me, but she also made me happy because this is the first time someone I don't know knew of my book |

You should absolutely be thrilled with that. |

Vicki Tyley contacted me about having problems downloading a sample of my book. I sent her a copy. She said that she will review it sometime in August. That was exciting for me.

No exciting book news, but last week my husband and I moved his 91 year old mother from FL to DE to be near her daughter. We drove a uhaul for 2 days, got her new apartment set up and she was thrilled. Gotta love pleasing your elders!
Plus, all you guys are great! I love hanging out here. Congrats to everyone on book sales, reviews and personal accomplishments.
