Wrong again, Hero! |
As usual, I was wrong.
Also, thank you for proving
me wrong.
The quarterly report for THE CLOCKWORK DETECTIVE arrived, and I was completely thrilled. The numbers were
good. They’re never as good as an indie-author hopes. These aren’t Stephen King
or even Hugh Howey numbers. You always hope that they report will show a couple
of hundred sales. Really, any sales are reason enough for celebration.
That said, I’d thought I’d
managed to sell at least 100 copies of TEARS OF HEAVEN the first year it
released. Nope.
A little better than half the
goal I’d hoped for. Not bad for a brand new author writing in a niche of a sub-genre.
HELL BECOMES HER performed well out of the gate, and sold 71 copies in its first quarter.
Things got a big murky after
that release, and I’m too lazy to chase down the numbers for the first year of
the sequel’s publication. That all said, I’ve seen some real success—as I would
define it—from THE CLOCKWORK DETECTIVE.
The book released May 7th, 2019, and here are the results:

Yep! The goal that I’d hoped to reach in the first year for my first book was achieved
in the first quarter of release for
my fourth book. Here's hoping I see some similar numbers of COMPANY OF THE DAMNED!
In the mean time, eat those edibles if you’ve
got 'em!
