what's your most popular story?

as i write this, trophy is my most popular story by sales. (thank you, true believers!) it was also the first written.

crayon sugarsweet and the spooky thing, blue, and frost flowers are tied for second place. revenue-wise, crayon sugarsweet rules the roost, followed closely by grimmer, which hasn't even been out a month yet.

who says horror is dead?

i'm kicking around the idea of an illustrated version of my only-to-date love story slash contemporary fantasy, the ring around the rose, either just before or just after the second book in that series comes out, as much to learn how to do internal illustrations for the kindle as to have an opportunity to paint those terrific characters.

making progress on red, which will be my next book (because the world needs a wisecracking teen drama queen who knows how to handle granny-eating vampires and the ghosts of dead cheerleaders).

gingerbread hasn't sold much, i suspect because it came out just before grimmer, which includes it. (heck, for $2 more, i'd buy grimmer, too - especially since it includes the first chapter of red.) or maybe the world just isn't ready for hansel & gretel as cannibals.
