Kindle has proved to be a game-changer in the publishing industry. Congratulations to Amanda Hocking, and to Felicity Heaton (and F E Heaton :-) ). I hope I can hit the same dizzy heights. Can I …? No. I shouldn’t. Oh….maybe just one shameless plug then:

Phew. I think I got away with it.

I’ve sold over 100,000 so far in 2011 alone. I’m feeling pretty awesome right now if they are counting sales across all an authors books. I write as both Felicity Heaton and F E Heaton but I count them as one author on the basis that my second name is just to keep my Vampires Realm series firmly bundled together as I write other vampire series and stand alones under the first name. Everyone who reads me knows me as the first name though regardless of the series. I’ve definitely sold 100,000 under one name since beginning with Amazon KDP in 2010 if they count more than 1 year too.
