When is a picture worth a million words?
Squeeeeeeeeee!
*ok, fan girl glee that my book is parallel to George R. R. Martin out of the way*
They say it takes 1,000,000 words to become a good writer. I have written more than that... most of it so awful, dreadful and nausea-inducing that a goblin wouldn't even feed it to his mutant rat-horse. Many a day I despaired nothing I wrote would ever be worth sharing.
Now, it is true, that George R.R. Martin's book is $15 and mine is free, but a lot of people must still want to read it to make it the number one downloaded epic fantasy on Amazon. And that feeling... it's just... I'm going to have a write a whole new book just to capture that feeling in words. For now, all I can say is...
This picture was worth a million words.

I mother loved Initiate. A lot. In fact, I read it and it cleansed my palette of an over-hyped, pour YA dystompian book I read.
I still owe you a book recommendation on my blog. I've been working on it for a month now, ha.
OMG. I need to go home.
@Burritoclock, thank you!
@ Stephen, if you've taken 1000 pictures, then my hat is off to you. Photography is a great art.
@Anthony: wow, I love that your mom enjoyed Initiate! And I am all for palette-cleansing. :) (And don't worry about typos on my blog. I only read the first and last letter of every word, so the whole thing could be misspelled in the middle, and I'd never notice.)
@ Sandra, thank you! Btw, I think my older son is almost ready to enjoy your book. He can't read it himself yet, though.
@ Heidi. Thanks!
@ Backwards Story: I am haranguing my tech guy about helping me Nook it; but you have to understand, he works for free, so my threats to withhold his salary aren't very effective.
@ Michelle, thank you! I now have TWO reviews of your books that I need to post. Argh!
@ Domey, thanks! Yes, I am doing a happy dance.
@ Amber, yes, that is the key. It's so easy to become acclimated to the new level of sales that now, when a day goes by that is a little less than the day before, I am disappointed. But that is silly, considering I am selling more books now per day, even on a "bad" day, than I was before in a month!
Congratulations again on hitting the top free spot on Amazon. That is an amazing accomplishment.
