Some things should be noted about this download activity.  First, all my titles together total 35 ebooks.  Total downloads are now well over 11,000.  I’m averaging over the indicated time period about 144 new downloads a week.

So there are readers out there (thank you very much, readers) and they’re finding me and liking enough of what they see to download my work and check it out.

Recently, I received notification from Smashwords that a review had been written on Colliding Galaxies, my short works collection.  To date, I haven’t been able to locate it and read it, but I’m encouraged nonetheless that someone took the time. 

Also, I was perusing the Goodreads website the other day and found that I have a number of titles which have received ratings, most of them quite good. My novel The Farpool received 4 out of 5 stars.  Several of my Nanotroopers episodes received excellent ratings (4 and 5 star ratings, to be exact).  One episode, Number 1, received one star.  Oh well, you can’t please everybody.  But I was encouraged that I have readers who have seen fit to rate some of my work and rate it highly.

It’s nice to know there are readers who are interested enough to comment.  According to Smashwords, I even have some who’ve asked to be notified by email whenever I upload new titles.  This makes it all worthwhile for me.

The next post to The Word Shed will come on July 31.  In this post, I’ll provide another excerpt from my newest novel: The Farpool: Marauders of Seome (Chapter 1 was excerpted on June 19).  Look for it soon.

See you then.
