Hey, all -

Sorry for not posting more! I haven't even been lurking, as I've been too busy between my day job and trying to get In Her Name ready for press.

On the ebook front, as of today it's at #63 overall and #8 in the Sci-Fi category at Mobipocket.

It's also on Amazon in the Kindle store (although now as a distribution from Mobi, rather than the original deployment through Amazon's Digital Text Platform service, which turned out to be really clunky compared to publishing through Mobi).

On the print side of things, I decided to go with CreateSpace to get In Her Name onto Amazon, and am getting set up with Lightning Source to try to reach the wider distribution channels (still going through the final stages of the account setup on that).

Oy! Back to work! ;-)

Cheers,
Mike

Thanks everybody! Hey, and talk about lies, damn lies, and statistics: today it's up to #41 on the overall bestseller list at Mobi, although still at #8 in the Sci-Fi section. Go figure! LOL
