So here's what's going on: For the last third of this year I'm donating 100% of my book profits to Patrick Rothfuss's charity, Worldbuilders.
As such, I'll be posting my sales stats to keep myself honest.
| Source | Units Sold |
| Amazon | 28 |
| Barnes & Noble | 10 |
| Ibooks | 2 |
| Smashwords | 1 |
So 41 sales of book 2! I'm not counting book 1 because it's free.
We'll pretend I make $3 off of each of those sales (it's actually a little less, but who's counting?). It comes out to $123 for the month of September. So congratulations to everyone who bought book 2 last month! You've helped make people's lives better.
Oh yeah, I'm also still writing a book, huh? Well, the good news is I finished it, and finished editing it. The bad news is...I didn't like it. So I've cut out the parts I had problems with and am now rewriting large swaths of the book.
Alright, it's only about 7 chapters, but I like the word 'swath'.
You'd think that I'd have learned my lesson about promises, but I can safely say that this book will, in fact, be finished.
So thanks again for reading my books and dropping by my blog. I'll keep you posted.
Darn it. Promises.
I just stumbled upon your books a while ago, and I really liked them, so thanks for a very entertaining story! It's a shame so few people have heard about them, but I should thank Amazon's recommendation system for bringing them to my attention!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I won't lie, your covers are great for an indie book, and that is probably part of the reason I bought them without really thinking or knowing the story in the first place. Call me old-fashioned, but I still judge a lot about a book by its cover, even an e-book ;)
Thanks for stopping by! Honestly, I'm thrilled any time I hear that someone actually enjoyed my books, and I know my wife is tickled pink to hear praise for her covers.
DeleteI'll have an update about the status on book 3 (hint: it's done) later on this week. Thanks again for taking the time to let me know what you thought!
