30,000 downloads on Feedbooks.com
20,000 came and went so fast that I didn't have a chance to even consider the staggering numbers that are now involved with my readers/downloads of my book. 30,000 readers. That's like the entire population of Dover, Delaware reading it. That's a bit staggering.
I'm excited to see how far this all goes. Please keep writing to me. I love hearing what you think of my story.
I just wanted to say thanks to a couple people who've blogged about me recently:
14,000 and counting
It might be silly to keep posting every 2,000 downloads, but I enjoy the little pleasure of the small milestones so here we are again. This month it came a week earlier than the last time, almost a week early in fact.
So it's been confirmed, thanks to a wonderful reader, that HTDC is indeed a default book in the Aldiko app on the Android phone. It just comes built into the app. I wonder what site they're pulling it from and if it counts those books as downloads. Probably not, but it's fun to think about.
I found this video about Aldiko and you'll see in there that I'm in there towards the end of the video on the digital bookshelf right next to Great Expectations, Moby Dick and Les Miserables. How pleasantly odd.
I've received a few more donations from generous readers and have gotten a few more friends/followers/fans on Facebook/Twitter. Keep it coming! I'd love to hear more about who's reading, where you got it, what you thought and anything else you'd like to tell me about. A few more nice reviews have popped up on Amazon from Kindle readers and I couldn't be happier about it all.
Keep reading, keep sharing, keep blogging/posting.

How strange that HTDC has been downloaded 2,000 times each month for the past few months. I realized today that my 10k post was Sept 1 and my 8k post was Jul 31 (so close). I've gotten a few new comments/friends/donations/followers on Twitter and I hope you all keep finding me in the months to come.
Someone pointed out that HTDC is one of the default books on the Android phones, though without access to one, I can't know! If someone else has read my book as a default book on an Android phone, please let me know. I'd love to even see a picture of it somehow.
Once again, thanks a million to everyone who's been reading and then blogging/commenting/tweeting.

I've been using my music account for just about everything (@aldermusic), but realized that I should have probably kept things separate. It's hard to keep the different aspects of your life separate when to me it's all one thing! So, if you're following me @aldermusic, please feel free to follow me @davidbowick as well for more book/writing-related posts.

Yes, maybe it's silly to have a fan page on Facebook, but why not try it out, right? Come be my fan if you're on Facebook, but better yet, just be my friend!

Today How To Disappear Completely hit 10,000 downloads on Feedbooks.com! Wow! I can't even begin to explain how crazy this is to me.

Many thanks to everyone who has read my story and especially those who have come to me telling me that they enjoyed it. It means the world to me when you reach out.
So many cool things are in the works for this story that hopefully I'll be able to share with everyone soon.

blog review
Tugboats and Arson, an interestingly named blog, wrote a bit about HTDC in his first blog post after reading it though Stanza on his iPod touch. Check out the last paragraph of this post to find out what he thought. I was very moved that he felt so connected to my characters.
