A Simple Graph To Show The Logic

If you haven’t been following Joe Konrath and Barry Eisler’s epic dialog on Ebooks and Self-Publishing, you’re missing out. Go read it. Now. I seriously feel like they just put into words exactly what I’ve been talking to my husband and my friends about for months now. You can find the conversation in 2 parts (so far): Here and Here. In part 2, Barry talks about how he crunched the numbers. He says it much better than I can, so I’m going to post a direct quote from Joe’s blog, which is also from an interview Barry did with Daily…

March Sales Numbers

March was the most AMAZING month for me! I am still in shock at how much sales blossomed last month. I think for most of the month, I was riding high on the release of Book 3. Plus, I had a lot of book reviews come out on various book blog sites, and I know that had a positive impact. I owe a lot to all the book bloggers who took the time to read my books and review them. Most of the sales growth was in the Kindle store. For most of the month, all three of my books…

A Walk on the Pink Side

It’s Friday, yay! I’ve been working hard on Book 4, and am almost 1/4 of the way finished with the rough draft. Right now, I’m easily on schedule for a mid-May release! I also have some exciting news waiting in the wings about my next series! Stay tuned. For fun, I decided to color my hair again. As you know, it was purple, then I went teal, and now, I’ve gone PINK! Here’s a pic I took right after I finished this morning: Sometimes, you just need a change. I love that I have the freedom to change my looks…

Today is a first on my blog! A guest blog post! Yippeee!!! I welcome Lucie J. Charles, indie author of the YA paranormal, LIFETHREAD. Lucie J. is a member of my local RWA group, the Heart of Carolina Romance Writers, and like me, she’s braving the new world of self-publishing.

Spending time with them, listening to their discussions, and watching the twists and turns of how they explore life is…

Not A Golden Heart Finalist. Again.

This morning, I was so full of excitement and hope. I begged my phone to ring. But unfortunately, it never did. This afternoon, I’m full of sadness, to be honest. On one hand, I know it’s ridiculous to be upset about it. After all, I’ve already sold over 5,000 books this month alone! Since I entered the GH in November, I’ve sold well over 10,000 copies of my three books. There’s no way I could have done that if I was spending my time looking for an agent or a traditional publishing deal. And after all, isn’t that what the…
