"Connect" takes off!

Yesterday morning I got an email from the wonderful Phoenix Sullivan, editor of the e-anthology Extinct Doesn't Mean Forever in which my story Connect appeared. As an experiment Phoenix had uploaded Connect as a stand-alone story for free download to the Amazon kindle store. To my astonishment her email informed me that the story was being downloaded like crazy and was at number 600 and something in the free/kindle charts.
As of writing this, it is at #228.

If you are reading this post as a result of looking up my name after reading Connect, welcome!
I've uploaded three more stories to Amazon (see my author page, here,) at 99c each - however, both RED and The Rose of Desire are available on this blog if you do a quick search (in fact, The Rose of Desire is the post below this one).
If you enjoyed Connect (or if you didn't!) feel free to leave a comment or email me at the address below my picture to the right.
