I wish--as one who's considering it--you'd have said more.

Well, I know I'm getting excited over very little, but I've had The Drought and a short story collection up for only five days, two of which were Free Promo days. Of the three days they've been available for sale, I've sold 13 copies of The Drought and 3 copies of the short stories. Only 2 of these sales were from people I know, and I've done virtually no promotion. =D

Best of luck. And you still have HC on pins and needles.

They've probably already tossed my manuscript in the trash. =)

I'm guessing NOT; but more work may lie ahead.

I dread having to go through the entire manuscript and put in quotation marks and question marks. Haha. On top of any other editing requirements.
