Featured on iTunes!
What an unbelievable honor! I’m being featured on the front page of the iBookstore this week:
Not too long ago, someone from Apple got in touch to congratulate me on the success of Wool. The book had caught their attention when it appeared near the top of some genre categories, and after doing some digging they decided to spotlight me as an up-and-coming author.
It’s almost enough to make a kid feel legit.
Of course, as soon as I heard this would be happening, I worked to get more of my books on the iBookstore. By the end of the week, all of them should be available. I’ve heard from readers in the past that my website needed links to other outlets other than Amazon, so I’ve worked to add iBookstore links to my Books Page. I also added a nifty widget over there on the sidebar
I can’t thank Apple enough for all they do for independent artists and developers. It’s unbelievable that we are able to self-publish on the iBookstore and be available for hundreds of millions of iPad and iPhone users. Now, I’m wondering if this is finally the excuse I need to get myself an iPad. I mean, it’s product testing, right? Right? Someone help me out here.

First of all, that's coolio. Even if I'd never buy a book through iBookstore...I'm an Amazon addict all the way. But yeah, you need one ;) I have the ancient original iPad...and still love it. Just bought my husband the iPad2, and I'll have you know, the first thing he read on it was Wool. Of course, that was the deal for getting it!
Anyway, congrats on that :D
Oh yes, you definitely need an ipad. I mean, you have to make sure your books look good on it, right? (And honestly - you will find it to be a very very useful thing to have.)
