FYI, I didn't hop out of my dark place. I slithered.

davidhburton · 03-15-2010, 10:06 AM

You know, after Read An E-Book Week, I moved from obscurity at Smashwords to within the Top 20 current bestsellers and in the Top 5 fantasy bestsellers. But now that the week is over, sales have completely halted. (Of course, it was FREE last week!)

Anyone want to help project me into the Top 10....got a spare $1.99?

At Amazon, I'm still in the Top 4000 ... got a LOT of work to do there! .... also $1.99

...Dr. Drib, how was that on the shameless scale?

davidhburton · 03-15-2010, 10:50 AM

Or maybe I should drop the price to $0.99 ????

I saw you, sir! You did indeed slither up to the dark place! And then you did HOP out!

davidhburton · 03-15-2010, 11:33 AM

It was a small hop.

....says I with my forked tongue.

Da-Da-Du-Da! (Fanfare)

My brilliant husband's, Tim's, first book is currently #10 in the queue to be added to Smashwords. It is the story of his life, including idyllic childhood, drug addiction, mental illness, being burned in a gasoline fire, recovery from both burns and drugs, and finally he meets and marries the greatest woman alive.

Get "The Days of Babylon: An Autobiography By A Former Stoner" at Smashwords, when it eventually gets posted. Has been in the queue for about 19 hours so far, from #89 in line up to #10 this morning.

Reviews:
Fabu! Boffo! I couldn't put it down! Two thumbs up!

If you buy no other book this season, make sure this is the one!

The book is great, and the wife's jewelry ain't half bad either.

I just gave you enough karma to put you at 666.

davidhburton · 03-15-2010, 12:26 PM

No one should ever give me Karma again....I want to stay at that number.

It's quite fitting, don't you think?

banjobama · 03-15-2010, 12:41 PM

Can I promote my blog!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I'm gonna...

I read ebooks, and post my e-pinions. No, there were not enough blogs about that before!

You can suggest books you want me to read. If you don't like me, go ahead and suggest a bad one! I'll spend time carefully reading and critiquing it anyway!

If you care about what an uppity undergrad English student thinks about anything, this blog will be RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY!

Watch the blog in case YOUR book appears there! No one is safe! (except those who ask.)

Oh, of course! The man can't construct a proper sentence or paragraph to save his life, but he comes from a long long line of storytellers. Between the two of us, we can entertain a crowd with our stories, although most of mine are enhanced. (I'd rather tell a good story than a true story!)

davidhburton · 03-15-2010, 12:54 PM

Cool, banjobama!! Looking forward to it!
