It's been a month since Nameless was published, so I have some sales figures for you:
Helpful readers have also put Nameless up on LibraryThing and GoodReads, and the PDF has been linked from Online Novels. It even has an Amazon page (with a marketing markup) that Lulu put up for me. I'm not sure why, but whatever. Moar gay on Amazon!
I've been selling signed copies of Nameless for $30 each, with the proceeds going to The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, working for LGBT rights around the world, or Children of Uganda, a secular support organisation for Ugandan AIDS orphans and other children in need. So far a little over $150 has been raised for these two causes, so I've made the first donations today. IGLHRC hasn't sent me an email confirmation yet, but I have a website screencap of the donation made on behalf of Christopher Dusk to Children of Uganda (the IGLHRC donation was made on behalf of "Christopher and Lucas").
A few weeks ago I asked people to Post Their Book -- to share photos of Nameless in local environs. I got a great response, and today I went back through to pick the photos back up (should have been doing this all along, curse my lack of attention span). There's a Nameless Brag Gallery up in my scrapbook. Just follow Crash (the partial inspiration for Nameless the dog) to see where Nameless has popped up!
If you posted me a photo and I missed it, or if there's no location listed and you'd like me to list one, please let me know so I can add it to the gallery!

ETA 7/29/09:cassie_lee wrote to tell me about a terrible house fire that she survived, and how Nameless did too. Thinking of you, kid.
ETA 10/21/09:aprivatelibrary shares some fanart of the Boy!
ETA 12/16/09: Nameless received a review in the December issue of VOYA, a publication for teachers and youth librarians. Here's what they said:
Avoiding human contact, Lucas hides out in his cottage, crafting mask after mask in search of one to transform him into someone -- or something -- that will finally fit in the world. -- Rebecca (this isn't praise, necessarily, but I love the way she described Lucas.)
...outsider Lucas and his desperate yearning for connection, transformation, and love will resonate most with teens. -- Rebecca
I loved Nameless! Every moment of the day I just wanted to disappear into the world of Low Ferry. -- Alisa
Enchanting and thoughtful...an interesting read, and exceptionally heartwarming. -- Julia
