Don't get too excited. It was only $10.

Nevertheless, if you are so inclined, you can read this silly little piece tomorrow on Punchnel's.
It's under Punchlists.

In my world, it's one decent bottle of wine, on sale!

And fame. Can't put a price on that.  wink2

I made $80.00 last year, but that was when my book was priced at $4.99. I have since lowered the price to 99 cents. It will take me approximately 3000 years to make close to that amount.

Thanks, everyone. Isn't there a koan that goes, "The path to enlightment, or the bestseller list, starts with a $10 gig on an obscure website"?
