Lucky Number 7: Michael Connelly Sells 1 Million Ebooks

Author Michael Connelly has become the seventh writer to sell 1 million kindle ebooks on Amazon's kindle store. Connelly said in a press release:
 “As a storyteller it brings me particular fulfillment to know so many readers are receiving my work through the Kindle. Added to that, my name is now on a list of an amazing group of writers. I am very proud of this moment.”
 I always wanted to be 7th at something, too.  It is an acheviement to know that seven other people did something first.  I mean, just talk to all the people that place 7th in the Olympics or at the Kentucky Derby.  Those people are practically pooping themselves with the prospect of the... I dunno, what's the opposite of gold?  Dirt Medal?

Seriously, though, congratulations to Michael Connelly.  He is in a class of authors and best sellers that I could never even hope to aspire to, much less reach.  His writing is top notch and never fails to delight.    [Galleycat]
