10,000 Ebooks Sold and Encrypted Mentioned in RT Book Reviews

This morning I received a nice email from Heather Massey over at The Galaxy Express. She let me know that Encrypted had been mentioned in the latest issue of RT Book Reviews.

Oh, that's neat, I thought. It wasn't until I Googled the site and looked around that I realized this was a) a print magazine and b) one I'd actually seen before at the bookstore. Apparently they've started a new column called "What's Hot this Month in Self-Publishing." (How cool is that?)

There's no way I'd be able to find a copy of the magazine down here in Australia (though they'll probably get a subscription out of me when I get home — part of their master plan, right? ), but Heather was nice enough to type up the blurb:

Encrypted By Lindsay Buroker

Genre: Fantasy

Print or e-book: E-book

Summary: A young professor may be the only one who can decode old runes, which is why the enemy has kidnapped her from her home. Her only hope may lie with a fellow prisoner as threats to their world increase.

Why you should read it: With more than 10,000 e-books sold, Buroker is certainly making a name for herself in the world of self-publishing. Her most popular books are part of her Emperor's Edge series, of which she just completed her third book.

I'm guessing they got the sales numbers from Amazon, because I haven't even tallied things up yet for the year (it's kind of a pain to separate free downloads from paid ones). I figured I'd hit that mark though, so many thanks to all of you who have tried my books! And thank you, too, to RT Book Reviews for starting a column to highlight self-published authors.

If you've stumbled across this post and haven't read Encrypted yet, you can try the first couple of chapters on my site. The ebook is, of course, available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords too. Paperback coming later this winter.

Also, if you like steamy science fiction romances, check out Heather's books, Once Upon a Time in Space and Queenie's Brigade.
