Hi all.  Sorry I’ve gone quiet again.  I was just getting back in the swing of things when life went and turned stuff all around again.

First the good news:

I have a short story “Auto” in the anthology The A.I. Chronicles, which has been out for a few months now.  Yesterday, it had a great push.  It was ranked #31 on All of Amazon, and #1 in a whole lot of categories.  Thanks to that, my author ranking went up, and I can now say that I am an “Amazon Best Selling Author.”  I got to #16 in SciFi, for certain top 100 in ebooks, and I honestly believe top 100 on Amazon.  The way the metrics are reported, and the way they are delayed, if you’re not constantly pressing refresh, you might miss a big jump.  I went from somewhere around 5,000 to #136 in a day.  From what other people are reporting, I know my rank was higher sometime before it was 136.  How much higher?  I guess I’ll never know.  If nothing else, I am a Kindle Best Selling Author, and a Top 20 SciFi Author on Amazon.  It feels pretty great.

The A.I. Chronicles is currently on sale for .99.  I’ve also got most of my books on sale or free right now, too.

I also found out that my little sister is going to have her first baby.  She’s very excited and I’m excited for her.
