My First Sale

Well it's happened. I've had my first sale of something that I've written. A few months ago I took it upon myself to list Echelon 7: The Iyanough Chronicles with Amazon.com and low and behold I have had a person in the U.K. buy a copy. I couldn't be more thrilled.

This business of writing down the various ramblings of my imagination is certainly something that I feel proud to do in at least a passable fashion.

I have yet to find a logical next step for the crew of the mining tug Iyanough. I think that the next step will have to show the condition of the human race after the destruction of their home-world. Something like that will be the next work in the chute. But for now, as a new professional writer, I plan on basking in the glow of the £1.30 that is now waiting for whatever threshold that I have to break to actually receive a check. But I am thrilled. Really.

To actually sell something is wonderful. I can only hope that this tiniest fraction of a mere facsimile of success continues and the orders come pouring in. If you have a kindle and would like to buy a copy to help support my writing and give some sort of small glimmer of rational hope to this midlife fledgling I would greatly appreciate it. If you don't have a Kindle and want a PDF version you can find it at LuLu.com.

Now it's back to reality. Time to continue work on the latest thing, and get my assignments in on-time. After all, being on-time is really the key to it all isn't it?
