Things are picking up after the usual late-summer sales slump the literary world endures yearly.

I’m happy to see I picked up some readers in Australia. I ran Facebook ads for my free novella in all the English-speaking countries and got some new email subscribers in South Africa, Canada, and the Republic of Ireland. Hopefully, we’ll start seeing them pop up in my daily sales dashboard soon.

I got some audiobook sales. Some of that might be quite literally from one of my nurses, who said she was going to download some of my novels for her commute to work every day. I swear, I can’t even go through a medical calamity without turning it into a sales pitch.

I’m happy to report that all six novels and my two nonfiction books made money in October, with The French Fiasco leading the way, as it should, since it’s my latest work that’s for sale.

I had no hardcover sales in October, but I don’t expect much of those anyway. The majority of my online revenue comes from ebooks and Kindle Unlimited.

I keep my online and in-person royalties separate, but I should add that I sold thirty paperbacks at a weekend signing event. Those are always fun. I don’t have another one booked until the first weekend in March at the Mid-South Military & Civil War Show in Southhaven, Mississippi, which is just south of Memphis.

The Prussian Prince on Kindle is 99¢ through this weekend, and then it will be 99p in the UK for a week. I’ll run some Facebook ads for that. My Amazon contracts for Rampage, Mexico, and Blood all renew this month, so I’ll be running some ads for those, too.

In between, I’ll squeeze in some ads for the free novella to drum up some more subscribers. I’m at 153 at the moment. I’m hoping to have at least 200 by the time Black James comes out.

In other news, I hit 200 followers on my Amazon author page. It’s exciting, but I have little control over that. I don’t even know who they are. I can only hope that Amazon emails them when Black James goes on pre-order.

Authors: How was your October? What are your plans for the rest of the year?

Readers: Whatcha readin’? I’m finishing up Hell House, by Richard Matheson. I plan on reading another novel in my Sarina Dorie box set next.
