The Protector
Just wanted to let users of Kobo and B&N know that my book The Protector will be available on those platforms in a few days. It was exclusive to Amazon but the sales there have been putrid and not worth keeping it there exclusively. It's got a few more days and then will be done. I'll throw up another post when it's actually live on the other sites. I'd appreciate everyone checking it out.

Update
Haven't posted in a while. Just wanted everyone to know I'm still alive and kicking! For those wondering what I've been up to...I haven't been doing a whole lot of writing. The good news--my wife is pregnant and we're expecting our 3rd child in March. The bad news is my wife is now also unemployed as her position was terminated. So I've had to do other things to bring more money into the household which cut down drastically any writing time I'd normally have. It would be nice if I made enough money from book sales to live off it and therefore be able to write at the drop of a hat but unfortunately that's not the case. I have been kicking around more ideas for the stories I've already got started so hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be able to add to them. I'd like to get a few more books out next year but we'll see if that's feasible. I'll try to check back in soon. Thanks for reading!

More Numbers
The whole family is sick other than me so all I've had to do today between taking care of 3 people is run a few numbers between getting up and down. Here are my 2011 sales on Kindle:
1) The Assassin
2) Escape
3) Bounty Hunter
4) Deadlock
5) Day of the Assassin
6) A Soul Worth Taking
I even took it a step further and analyzed my all-time sales since my first book in 2008 and their percentages.
Amazon Kindle 80%
Paperbacks 7%
B&N Nook 6%
Mobipocket 5%
Smashwords 1%
Apple 1%
I was surprised that paperbacks came in at #2, even though it was a distant second. I would expect going forward that Amazon will continue to be where the majority of my sales come from. Mobipocket has ceased operations so that is no longer in the equation. I imagine the Kindle will continue to be at least 80% of my sales unless I can make a bigger dent into the Nook store, but it seems harder for unknown authors to make a mark there.
Just some numbers I thought were interesting and figured I'd share.
