Congratulations!! And looking at it on Amazon, it looks like it's at least in the top 20 in many of the sci-fi catagories! Good Job!
So what is your next step? Do you have plans to ever go through a traditional publisher? Are these books going to go to hard print so that you can sign them? ... Or do you just keep writing and have fun with it as it is?

I'll probably write a book for Baen at some point. Sadly I need the money too much to go the traditional route right now. But when things calm down I have a book half finished that I was originally intending to shoot off to Baen if I ever finished it.
If they reject it (as is most likely to happen) I may or may not fire off another book when I get around to writing enough of them.
We'll see.

But you can point out the books you sef-pub and say, "this is an example of my work" They take a look at your sales and think "Maybe we can take a chance with him..."
Writers are falling into three groups -- Traditional, Self-pub and Hybrid (Has books both through traditional and self-pub sources). So, maybe it's not a bad as you think it is -- of course, the book must match Baen's standards, but I don't think that will be much of a problem.... ;)

I'm sorry, I should have said that it's in the top 10 for Space Operas! I know amazon fluxuates a lot (their rankings are continuously updated) and being there at all is quite an accomplishment -- Congratulations. And since it also looks solidly placed in the top 10, I could say more but jealousy prevents me from praising you too much. 8) Good job!
