Bridesmaids get the better coloured dresses. :-)

Congratulations!!!! That must be a wonderful feeling - good for you! (I hope you popped some champagne or something similar to celebrate!)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I know I should be pleaseder, but just ONCE I'd like to be over Tin Star.

[sleveen.livejournal.com]

I've never had a bestseller of any kind, Tin Star or no, so I'd be over the moon if it were me. :)

Bridesmaids are supposed to get the best man, hehe ;)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Oh we do!! we do!

[crawling-angel.livejournal.com]

\o/ for the bridesmen!

[mylodon.livejournal.com]

And you look so lovely in your shepherdess costume with matching crook.

One day you'll be top of the tree, gal!

Argh! Horrible vision that is..

Hey, Bridesmaids can still get laid at the wedding...

[erastes.livejournal.com]

True! Although I know many brides who did too.

I would be really proud to come second to J.L. who is a terrific writer - there is no shame in being second :) Plus there are really cute bridesmaid dresses today in wonderful shades of mauve tee, hee, hee. Your silver medal is on its way :) Congratulations

PS When is Standish coming out as an e-book?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I know, I know - but I so often come second in life - I sang for years when I was younger and constantly came second to this girl in my town. Drove me mad. Who knew i was so competitive! :D

Don't know yet, no word about for AGES.... Will shout when I know though!

[alex-beecroft.livejournal.com]

LOL! At least you're still on the front page :) I'm sure Standish will outlast it, though.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Not on the American one right now, I've slipped right down. but yay! I should be more celebratory. I'd just like ONE screenshot of being number one. Just once!

You were above JL on Yahoo Canada last time I looked. What you need to do is write a cowboy story.

What is with those little dragons, anyway?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

The canadians love me. I love them. I always wanted to move there, somewhere remote where the men outnumber the women 10 to 1 (although knowing my luck they'd all be gay lumberjacks or something)

I know, the dragons are a sickness. It's just a phase, I'll grow out of it.

*fuming with jealously*
Speaking of that @%#*! Tin Star,
I was curious just how many books JL Langley was selling on Amazon. I recently did a calculation using these two tools:
http://www.titlez.com
http://www.fonerbooks.com/surfing.htm
and discovered that with all of her books combined she sold approximately 1600 books in the last three months. That’s only her paper-book sales from Amazon, I can’t even imagine what her ebooks are doing.
In contrast, I sold less than 40 books in the last 3 months. Go figure!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Wow - that's clever! I didn't know of the second of those links!

This is amazon.co.uk though, so the figures are much much lower. I think part of the way to success is to have lots of books out there, if I had 10 standishes, I could actually live on my earnings.

:)

Now I'm going to be checking Amazon every hour to see if I can get you a screenshot of Standish at number one. If I had the money to buy copies for my ex-boyfriends that would probably push you over, but alack. You know what? Because you helped me yesterday, and I won't be in England anytime soon to buy you lunch, I'll buy myself a copy. There. I'm useful, and I'll get a nice, new book out of it, too. :-)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Aw - thanks! This was the Amazon.co.uk screenshot, but you've obviously made a difference, because it's number 2 in the USA one now! What a difference one sale makes!

:)

I like the dragons! Keep your sickness for a while. ;-)

I may be getting a kitten in the next few days - watch this space!
