Peter told me that, in doing research for the article on e-book formats, he came across my opinions in MR and in
TeleRead. He further checked out my website. He didn't know me, but he was familiar with the e-book subject (he's previously corresponded with David Rothman of TeleRead), and based on what he saw he decided I would be a good source for the author's POV of general technical knowledge of the format situation, and its impact on the industry. (You'll notice in the article that he did cover the POV of e-book aggregators and software makers as well.)
As far as results, I've seen an untick in website traffic and sales, but it's been modest... roughly a sale a day for the past month, which is more than I usually see after an initial release of an e-book (
Verdant Skies had gone live just a few weeks before, and most of the sales for that happened in the first week). Most significant is the fact that those recent sales have mostly been from new customers who discovered me through the article, which means I'll hopefully see return sales of my other books from some of them.
I've also been advised by more than one party to work on a non-fiction reference book on the e-book phenomenon, to take advantage of my (at least temporary) status as an "authority" on the subject. I'm about halfway through the draft now, and probably I'll have it done by January, if not sooner (no promises... wifey wants a vacation!). After that, back to fiction (most likely Kestral 3).
