In the top 23rd percentile!

That’s how I’m looking at it, anyway. I just sold the 100th copy of Mortal Touch–and it was a Kindle edition. Wait until the audiobook is out! (I’m rehearsing it now, in case you’re wondering. Gods, what a lot of work.)

According to the Book Industry Study Group, in 2004 less than 23% of all books published–by all publishers, of any size–sold more than 99 copies. It may not sound like much, but I have now sold more copies than three-quarters of all titles published. And sales have been increasing during May and June. The buzz is building. I’m up another vertabra or two on The Long Tail. 🙂

I got another set of judges’ evaluation forms back from the contest I mentioned earlier. I thought I’d entered Mortal Touch into more than one category! Very interesting comments, and mostly good ratings. Two of these judges placed Mortal Touch in the Top Ten for that category. They just didn’t seem to love it quite so much as my paying customers all do. And I suppose the customers are more important!
