Go Team Kendis!

So in a quick survey around the various ebook vending sites I’m aware of, I see the following things!
Over on Mobipocket I have apparently jumped back into the top 50 in the Fantasy section, on account of they have specials going on right now and Faerie Blood‘s one of the ones in the special offers list! So are several other Drollerie titles, for that matter, so if you’re interested in checking out other Drollerie authors besides me, and Mobi format is your thing, you may consider checking there.
On the Fictionwise set of sites (Fictionwise itself as well as Ebookwise and eReader.com), I seem to be holding steady at #2, right under Rachel Vincent! And at the EPIC bookstore, I’m hanging in there at #1. All of which is Category Awesome, particularly the Mobipocket thing, since jumping back up into the top 50 is pretty sweet; last time I’d checked, I was just over the 300 mark.
No sign of me on Barnes & Noble’s ebook site yet.
And again I say, to all of you who out there who may be contributing to these shiny positions, thank you very much and I hope you’re enjoying the book. ^_^
Hey Look I'm on SALE
Number TWO
Congratulations on your continued success. We got our royalties today, meaning that Fictionwise actually paid up somewhere close to when they should have. My amount is embarrassingly low, but I now have more titles for sale in the current quarter than the previous one, and more in the pipeline for the next year or so — except for a 3 month drought coming after my next title goes live in a week.
About Barnes & Noble eBook store, they’re weird. My first 5 (oldest) titles are up with them, probably directly imported as a dump from Fictionwise after the purchase, but absolutely none of anything newer than those even though everything newer is up on Fictionwise and the rest of the sites. My publisher cannot figure out what it takes to get on B&N yet, or Sony, although Amazon, MobiPocket and the rest are proving no problems at all. You’d think that B&N would want to have — and would have — everything FW has, but so far that is proving clearly not the case and they can’t explain why.
So it’s not just you.

Yay for royalties! Still waiting for my first statement, but my editor’s got a lot on her plate right now; they’ll get here when they get here. Fortunately I have a day job, so I can say that with equanimity.
Re: B&N, *nods*. They’ve got other Drollerie Press titles, but not all of them, and I’m not the only recently released one that hasn’t shown up there yet; the last one of ours B&N has up came out in March. Hopefully they’ll get caught up soon. Sounds like they’re still ironing out all the wrinkles of what books they’re putting up.
