When I put Arrival up on Smashwords as a free ebook I was expecting a few hundred downloads at most - after all it was freely available on several other sites, my blog and Twitter. I didn't expect it to break a thousand downloads before Christmas and keep going, to the extent the publisher added a mention to their media kit.

A brief period in second place as "Most downloaded" in its category was a really nice surprise.

It may not be top 100, but I am currently a very happy author.
