Adventures in Self-Publishing

You guys! I'm #5 on Amazon Kindle's Most Popular Fantasy Series books! Look quick, who knows how long it'll last! Laughing out loud

This is the highest I've ever been ranked on any paid Amazon Kindle list. And yes, it's having an effect on sales. Since January my sales have doubled and my income has tripled. That's not counting the Kickstarter. I'm still not makin' the mortgage payment, but I'm makin' more than half of it.

Putting out new books helps, and I've put out two new ones in as many months. I have two more actively in development; one should be out in a month or so (quickie erotic romance novella called "The Mage's Toy") and another will be out by the end of the year ("The Machine God," about which more here). And that's not counting the "Scryer's Gulch" compilation, or the collection of prequel stories I promised Kickstarters.

Yikes! This is going to be a prolific year for me, and all of the above isn't even counting the work I'm doing on book three of the History.

oh yeah

It's been underway since before I finished book 2. I don't have anything down but notes, but I'm actively working on plots and stuff.

No shit we like you.

It's supposed to be a challenge, that's why they call it a shortcut. If it was easy it would just be the way.

Agreed

Even if we aren't as vocal about it as we used to be...

Good going

Down to #8 when I looked, but still ahead of McCaffrey's _Skies of Pern_.

The cover art is looking very nice there. The covers with good art stand out a little for me in that Amazon lineup, compared with the books that just took a photo, Photoshopped it a bit and slapped lettering on top.
