(For comparison, a typical American novel sells between 5,000 to 10,000 copies before going out of print in less than a year.) It is now obvious that there will have to be at least one more printing of “Patriots” before my third novel (titled “Founders”) is released in October, 2012 by the Atria Books Division of Simon & Schuster.
