His Robot WifeFive years ago, Mike Smith was an unhappy man living all alone. Then he purchased a Daffodil. Far more than regular robots, his Daffodil Patience, changed his life in ways that he had never thought possible. Now it is the year 2037, and Mike and Patience have been married for five years. Retired and enjoying life, Mike thought that all his troubles were behind him, but it seems as though they are creeping up again. California Proposition 22 proposes to define a person as a biological entity, thereby annulling marriages, like Mike’s and Patience’s, performed in other states. Battle lines have been drawn, at least as far as the proponents of the bill are concerned. Now Mike must muster his own support to defeat the measure. But there is more going on than just politics. Daffodil, the robot maker, is in the news again. Hardware issues are leaving robots across the globe unable to function. Is it only an antenna issue? Now Patience herself is behaving oddly. Is there something really wrong with her, or does she just need a software upgrade?His Robot Wife is the novella-length sequel to His Robot Girlfriend.

Thanks Great Britain, and Everyone Else Too

There was a time a couple of years ago, when I was selling about twice as many books in the U.K. as I was in the U.S.  This might have been due to having fewer ebook outlets, or perhaps the British just have great taste.  I noticed this year though that I am selling many more books in the U.S.  Again, this could be because Americans are finding it easier to find me, or maybe the Brits are just getting tired of me.  This whole thing got me curious to see exactly where my books were selling, so I took a look.  These numbers are based on sales from July 1, 2014 to July 26, 2014, and while they take into account free books, they don’t include books distributed by “free book” sites like Manybooks, which doesn’t keep track of where the downloader is.

I sold books in 13 countries.  Obviously since my books are only available in English, those countries where English is the dominant language fall higher on the list.  Still there are English speakers everywhere.  My own cousin lives in Germany and might account for a sale or two.  Here’s how they figure– listed in order by sales.

62% United States, 21% United Kingdom, 9% Canada, 4% Australia, 2% Germany

The Following each account for less than 1%, but are still listed by number of sales, highest first.

France, New Zealand, Sweden, Republic of Ireland, Denmark, Netherlands, Czech Republic, China

So thanks to all of you around the world who purchased one or more of my books, and if you liked them, please leave positive feedback at your ebook store and maybe talk them up with your friends and colleagues.
