Yep, that's right: 1,164 points.
Thanks mostly to consistent short story subs and the huge deal this week of writing my query/synopsis for ASSASSINWARE and UNCLE SAM, then getting 16 and 15 queries out the door for those books, respectively (total of 31 novel subs in the last three days).
Woohoo!
I sure hope I get some bites . . . even a sale. :)
