I was adding up book sales for the month of October.  I’m generally happy with how things are going, including the reception of the new Senta and the Steel Dragon book, A Plague of Wizards.  What I didn’t notice at first was that sometime in October, I sold my 20,000th book.  The grand total at the end of the month was actually 20,040.  Just a little over half of those are copies of His Robot Wife.  I think that bodes well for the reception of A Great Deal of Patience, which is coming as quickly as possible.
