Moderate Success

I read an article last week that said a Kindle book is considered a moderate success when it hits 500 sales.  I’m at 526 and still rising through the ranks of the Epic Fantasy lists.  I’m happy about this, but it seems my broken tooth has some numbness associated with it.  My smile looks more like a sneer right now.  At best, I can make a smirk.

So, bittersweet morning that will hopefully lead to a better day.  There should be a market for nocturnal dentists.  Like a hospital emergency room, but for teeth and gums.

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

    That’s nothing short of awesome (Kindle that is). The tooth, well that’s awesomely awful. I hope you get that sorted ASAP.

      Thanks. I’m hoping I can get the tooth taken care of by the end of the day, but I’ve noticed that most tooth-based incidents require more than one visit.

    That’s brilliant Charles, especially considering it hasn’t been out very long! Kudos, you must be very proud 🙂

    Let’s hope you don’t damage a tooth for every book in the Windemere series or you could be in some serious trouble 😉

      Thanks and I’ll do my best. I should celebrate with alcohol like normal people instead of popcorn. Never heard of someone breaking a tooth on a mouthful of rum and coke. Not counting outside influences.

        True. I guess taking the shot too quickly can knock it against your teeth too. Guess the only thing worse would be missing your mouth and hitting yourself in the nose.
