I have not mentioned my ebooks (maybe one oblique reference to having done some self publishing).

I have had a little increased traffic on the blog, and a very few new followers.

I have had a sudden rash of sales on one of my books on Kindle (The Wife of Freedom). It was selling one book every four days, and suddenly it sold 9 and counting in the past couple of hours. (There is a little increase in sample downloads on both of my books on Smashwords.)

Is this due to the increased social activity? Did someone mention it somewhere? Or is it really good kismet to analyze scenes with Daniel Craig and Carol Burnett on your blog?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Try Googling yourself or your book title and see what comes up.

I have been posting everyday to my blog for a year and a half. I post updates, background information, and excerpts. I also write about anything that piques my interest and do some mini reviews of books I read.
