Amanda Hocking: Our Heroine

Amanda Hocking has opened the ebook flodgates. She is an inspiration for all writers, especially ebook authors. From Wikipedia:

Hocking lives in Austin, Minnesota. Employed as an assisted living worker until 2010, she wrote 17 novels in her spare time.[3] In April 2010, she began self-publishing them as e-books.[1] By March 2011, she had sold over a million copies of nine books and earned two million dollars from sales, something previously unheard of for self-published authors.[4] In early 2011, Hocking averaged 9,000 book sales each day.[2]
