This blog post was published on and may be out of date. Visit the books page for up to date links and releases. Space Carrier Avalon has been an EPIC success. As of writing this post, with Avalon having been out for about twenty-eight days, it sits at roughly #600 on Kindle. It peaked about #325, and hit the top ten for Space Opera and Military SF on every single English-speaking Amazon site. It is, without any real argument, a bestselling independent novel.
