The articles did concede that yes, while there were some breakout successes in the likes of Amanda Hockings, H.M. Ward, Joe Konrath, Bella Andre, Barbara Freehy, Bob Mayer, Marie Force and Hugh Howey, they cautioned these successes were few and far between and as rare as a total solar eclipse over New York City.

NASA tells me the next total solar eclipse over NYC will be in 2079, yet she named eight recent breakout self-publishers off the top of her head.
The stats are interesting, though.
