In 2014 his Skinny books were licensed to a publisher in China and today two of them are perennial best sellers for any book written in or translated into Chinese. Sales of Skinny On eBooks have exceeded 100,000 copies in China, having hit a nerve with Chinese readers; Randel has even had two titles sitting at #1 and #2 on the Chinese ebook bestseller list simultaneously.
