Mirabilis graphic novel app in Top 100 grossing books

I'm cross-posting this from the Mirabilis blog because we're just too darned excited to keep it under our hats. Mirabilis - Year of Wonders has been in the App Store for four days now, which is pretty fantastic as it is. But the really great news is that we just nudged into the Top 100 grossing ibooks at #99!

You can get the first instalment of the story completely free, then other chapters cost $1.99 each. So it was dizzyingly good news when we rose to #13 in iTunes books, but to actually be in the top-grossing charts too shows that new readers are following through with the story after they've been astounded by the fluid interface, easy in-app issue management, eye-popping zoom and page flip (courtesy of demon coder Simon Cook), magical colors (by wizard of the digital rainbow Nikos Koutsis) and stunning art (by maestro of the Wacom tablet Leo Hartas).

Next stop: the Kindle. And in the meantime, if you haven't got the Mirabilis iPad app yet, you can find it here in the USA and here in the UK. And you can read the first instalment online on BookBuzzr even without an iPad!

Top of the world, ma!

Apologies for the avalanche of Mirabilis news this week, but there's no arguing with the Mighty Apple. And there we are splashed across the top of the "New & Noteworthy" page on iTunes. What can we say? Mr Jobs's guys, they have such good taste. You can pick up your Mirabilis - Year of Wonders graphic novel app here (the reader itself and first chapter are absolutely FREE) and if you haven't got yourself an iPad yet, here is where to find your local Apple Store. (No, we don't get a commission. It's just the coolest thing ever and you HAVE to get one. Trust me.)
