The Serpent in the Glass is now ranking at #4000 --> which means it has broken into the Top 100 in Children's Books on the Kindle!

Happy Easter!

Pied and Prodigious is 99 cents for today and tomorrow on Kindle.

And just a reminder that The Serpent in the Glass is on offer in paperback in a GoodReads giveaway, as well as a Rafflecoptor one.

Check them both out at http://c030374.wix.com/dmandrews#!new...

Pied and Prodigious just hit #1 in Comedy on Amazon.com (and #2 in Parody)!!!

Whooo! Result!

Pied and Prodigious, FYI, is now available in paperback from Amazon! :)

(must remember to update GR book page!)

Whooo - get him! Well done that man!

I'll start planning my US Mothers' Day assault in a few weeks ;)

Current ratio of US sales/borrows to UK sales/borrows for April...

29:1

Come on, UK!

My book was mentioned in Amazon's Hot new released.

I'm very excited for the road ahead... but my sales are equal at the moment, neck and neck.

That's great, Harry. My latest got into the top 3 of its genre (teen fantasy series) and appeared on the first page of that genre.

Best of luck with it!

Ah fantastic. It's amazing that you're getting/got about 29/1 in the sales ratio. I know they are updated hourly but its very bizarre how it works out. Mathematically it shouldn't make sense that an equal amount of people buy each day... shouldn't it be very sporadic and all over the place?

just a thought.

Final results for The Serpent in the Glass in sales for US vs UK in April: I sold 18.3 times as many books via Amazon.com !

Anyway, in other news - Erik of ThisKidReviewsBooks has given my latest ebook, Dreamwalkers (Part One), 5 out of 5 bookworms :)

They merely follow in my footsteps! Is it long to part 2?

I spent March promoting, and April catching up with a lot of non-writing-related stuff that I'd neglected in March ;)

Part Two is written and partly revised. Just need to finish off the revision and send it to the editor, then they'll have it for a few weeks. Time goes so swiftly!!!

We've missed you in the group Darren.

Aww.. thanks! I've missed me, too ;)

I'm a terribly inconsistent person. I work on projects and tend to focus on one thing per month: marketing, social media, revising/editing, writing, non-writing stuff.

May is editing month and time to catch up on neglected forums, groups, and web sites!

Well, nice to see you again!

Yes, it's that time of year to build up likes on my facebook author page ;)

Liked it!

Thanks Patti! I just need 2 more to reach 100!

In other news...

Congratulations to Sheliza from Alberta, Canada, for winning a signed paperback copy of Pied & Prodigious via my GoodReads giveaway!

Well, quite unexpectedly, my goal of 100 likes as of a few days ago has, as of this morning, manifested itself as 300 likes :)

Evidently my reach is up by 105,709.52% !!!

Thanks all! :)

Dreamwalkers (Part Two) is with the editor at last! :)

Hoping to get more time to post come next week!

This video reminds me, in parts, of what's coming in the Dreamwalkers series...

My likes have continued to climb and I hit 500 a couple of days ago! Thank you to everyone who has supported me!

I've updated my blog for May, as it was feeling rather neglected. Find out the latest there!

I would have 'liked' you but I don't do FB. :-)

I'll do you swapsies... :)

It's the thought that counts, Ignite ;)

Tim, you've been liked!

That explains the warm tingly feeling!

Dreamwalkers (Part Two) is back from the editor. Should have it out in a week or so (after I've gone through the manuscript) unless I have to seriously rethink things!

Oh, well, I'll be on your list of one-clickers. I thought Part 1 was excellent!

Thanks! Just got a review from someone who can be quite harsh on books...

http://annajonesbuttimore.blogspot.co...

I think I passed! ;)

And I'm about half way done with the editing already for Part Two ;)

Could be out by the weekend!

That sounded fine. Faint praise in places, but she needs yo keep up with the story!

Phew. Editing done. Tomorrow I must compile and publish!

Dreamwalkers (Part Two) has been published (Kindle)! OP updated.

Latest blog post - see what I sound and look like (I'm not a dark lord!) in my first test vlog!!!

Robot Voice! Awesome!!! ;)

Yeah, clicked the wrong thing somewhere along the line :(

Hehe! Good though!

Thanks! :)

Suggestions welcomed. Already been told to smile more - will do! ;)

The volume was very quiet at the start.

Yes, I turned it up as high as it would go on the software.

Today The Serpent in the Glass hit 100 reviews on Amazon.com ! :)

It maintains it's 4.2 star average :)

Blimey! That's wonderful news. NOW maybe you'll write a sequel? :-)

Thanks, Ignite!

So. Was that a 'Yes'?

I hope so

:)

Books still doing badly in the UK. US to UK sales ratio is 14:1 (and it's higher than that for the US if you include borrows).

I'm still writing, etc., behind the scenes ;)

Where does the time go? My last post was in July and it's now October!

Hello stranger! Did you fall into an eddy in the space-time continuum?

I was just thinking this morning that you hadn't been around for ages.
