Celebrating Five Years as an Indie Author

It’s hard to believe it’s been five whole years since I first published BEAUTIFUL DEMONS. When I decided to take a chance on self-publishing, I had no idea just how dramatically my life was about to change. Every year in this business gets more intense, more emotional, and more difficult, but there has never been a doubt in my mind that it’s all worth it. I am lucky enough to be doing what I love and actually making a living at it. It’s a dream come true. But that doesn’t mean it’s all rainbows and unicorns. Writing and self-publishing is Hard…

So Close To The Next Milestone!!

So Close To The Next Milestone!!

September is going to be one of the most exciting in my publishing career so far!! As of the beginning of this month, I have sold 97,579 books! I am so incredibly close to the HUGE milestone of 100,000 paid sales, and I have no doubt I will hit it within the next couple of weeks. In fact, I’m still waiting for my August sales figures from the iTunes store, which could push me up as far as 99,000 or more. EEEEEEK!!!! I honestly can’t believe this is happening. And the fact that I’m this close before I’ve even hit…

75,000 Books Sold!!!

It’s been a while since I did a sales update, but wow, this year has already been so amazing! I posted back in February that I had hit a sales milestone of 60k sales. I didn’t expect to hit another milestone so quickly, but as of this month, I’ve officially sold 75,000 ebooks in my Peachville High Demons series!!!! The two biggest boosts in sales for 2012 so far this year have been 1) the release of Rival Demons, book 5 of my Peachville High Demons series back in January and 2) Beautiful Demons (book 1) going free in all…

MILESTONE: 60,000 Books Sold!

Yippeee!!! I’m very excited to announce that yesterday, I hit a new sales milestone. 60,000 books sold. This is an all-time figure, starting when I self-published my first novel, Beautiful Demons, at the end of October 2010. It took me almost exactly 16 months to reach this milestone, and I couldn’t be happier. More than anything, I just wanted to say thank you! Thank you to all my faithful readers who have purchased the books in the Peachville High Demons series and supported me. It means more to me than I could ever say. You have all made my dreams…

August Sales Numbers

Wow, so they weren’t kidding about a summer slump. My sales definitely slowed down in the month of August, and it was scary! Overall, I had a good monthly total simply because I now have four books out instead of 3. On the other hand, each book’s individual sales were the lowest they’ve been since February, which is disappointing. That’s one of the hardest parts about self-publishing. It’s a lot of ups and downs and you never truly know what to expect from month to month. The only true way to guarantee growth is to keep writing books. August Sales…

July Sales Numbers

Hi everyone! Sorry I’ve been slack on posting. I also still haven’t managed to separate my self-publishing blog from my regular writing blog, so I apologize to fans who don’t really care about this stuff, haha. Hopefully there are some of you writers out there still finding value in seeing what my numbers have done each step of the way. I feel like as self-published authors we should stick together and help each other however we can. This is just one small way I hope to help. That being said, July was one of those amazingly, almost-can’t-believe-it, omg-I-might-faint kind of…
