How about that? His genre of choice may have helped, I'd guess, but that's pretty impressive in itself!

I was recently advised to consider having my books printed (overseas, to save money), but I haven't heard the same desire from potential readers for p-books yet. If I did it, it would probably be as free promotional material to send to friends, publishers and agents.
