Congratulations Kurt!

How many total sales? Is it time to buy another car yet?

Looks like the star bandit said you're #1 too.
No, it wasn't me.
Hey, while you're crossing racial boundaries, have you considered rapping?

Looks like sales have slipped a bit this morning... c'mon kids! I'm only 175 yen!

And no, no new plans for another car...

Japan is a brand-new market for Kindle, so it's like the wild west over there, things change pretty fast. Fun to watch, though.

Kurt

Congrats Kurt!

At least they can read over there... or should I say have an interest in reading.

Nice work Kurt. I see my novel is there, too, but no point for me checking rankings.

Don't stop at one! Keep writing and writing. My first novel doesn't sell worth a bean, even though I still think it's a great book. I've been putting out all kinds and types of work, trying to get something to catch fire. So far, the only thing on fire is my computer!

Keep at it. Your first stuff won't be as good as your fifth or your twentieth. It's just like playing an instrument, or weightlifting. You gotta keep at it, no matter what the results seem to be. I've had stuff I wrote over a year ago finally start selling, but it was because I kept putting out product, and more and more people find it, then go back and see what else I have out.

Kurt
