It’s time for my October analysis of the Amazon Kindle Store Top 100 Best Sellers in Romance (Paid), in partnership with market research newsletter Kindletrends.

I just returned from an amazing weekend at Steamy Lit Con in Anaheim and was blown away by how many authors and readers knew about Romancing the Data and complimented my content.
