You need to be a little more throaty with that laugh, otherwise it just seems creepy.  ;)

Thanks, both of you.  :)  I'll work on my evil laugh, shades.

You have to put "url=www.whatever...." in the first [] and then the word you want to appear (and finally the [] with the /URL part)

I got some may sales info back from Kindle today

Volume 1 - sold 5 - total copies downloaded 88 (83 must have been during it's promotion)  :) "You like me. You really like me."
Volume 2 - sold 2 - total copies downloaded 84 (same math applies)

Volume 3 - sold 0 - total copies downloaded 77 (two days of promotion vs 5 days each for the other two)

Now, if only it will get popular while not being promoted  :)

Dunno who all those people are, but I hope they spread the word  ;D

Volume 4 (Parts 8 & 9) is finally complete. I want to play with it for a couple more days in case any last minute silliness pops into my head, but I should be uploading it to Kindle on thursday. The promotion will be set up for next weekend, barring any unforseen happenings between now and then.

Thanks for your patience, my (3 or 4) fans.  :P ::) ;) :D

Also, as I mentioned briefly in weird, I am working on another project. It's a revamping of an old story I did for the 2004 NaNoWriMo contest. I won't mention the name or any specifics yet, because if I don't like it I won't be putting it up.

It is several months down the line, anyway, since this one, if I put it up on Kindle, will be a complete story, not little bits at a time like Xyxyx.

If I like where the story is going, I'll post updates here on and off.  ;D

I'm getting a lot of love on amazon with my book Admiral Who?  Up to 49.5 sales per day average for last week.  And the last two days 60, but that's the week end fingers crossed, I hope I've taken the next step but honesty?  I would be satisfied with 49.5.  Heck I'd be satistfied with 30 or even 20 average per day.

Anyway, regardless, I really loved my Chief Engineer character in Admiral Who? total blast.  My brother described him as a cross between Cid from final fantasy and a wild eyes Scotty from Star Trek.  A hilarious character and so much fun to write.  The words just seemed to flow off my keyboard.  hahahahah.

The second book well... the it was hard not having the bombastic character to fall back on whenever I'd get stuck in a rutt and need something to kick start my creative juices.  Spalding has a way of attacking just about every situation he comes across that just makes me laugh.

Having the little admiral carry everything, with asides into Akantha has been a bit of a task.  But looking back on some of what I've written, I'm feeling really positive right now for book 2.  Now just need to insert a couple scenes and then work up an appropriately bombastic sneak peak!

Congratulations on the success of your book.  :)  I hope the second does as well. Good luck.  :D
