*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!

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.
