One of the reason why I love tools like DataSprout and BookReport is that they allow me to look at the big picture. I can take a look not just at total numbers, but how those numbers break down over books and series, and even pen names. I feel that this is important....

My first domain was registered in the late 1990s and I never looked back. I love technology and well, it loves me. My passion is making the tech side of being an author and entrepreneur easy, so you can focus on your brilliant work without having to stress over your website, newsletter and eCommerce sites.
