Big let down

I wonder if any other author gets the initial surge of excitement upon publication, but then a big 'let down' a little while afterwards?
There is a flurry of activity with people buying, reading and reviewing, but then........nothing; like a deflated balloon a few days after it has been inflated.
I suppose it's time to start writing a new story.......

Jim Vuksic Mr. Butler,

My one and only novel was commercially available from Aug. 9, 2011 through Dec. 31, 2016, when the publisher filed for bankruptcy and went out of business; perhaps due to signing too many authors like myself. During its approximately 5 1/2 years of availability, only 1,029 units were sold.

I personally have no desire or the time to attempt to write again. I admire prolific writers like yourself. Very few ever achieve significant notoriety or commercial success within this extremely competitive field. That said; some have. There is no reason why you might not eventually become one of them. I wish you success.
