So ... there's still life in the old boy. He ain't done yet.
Nineteen copies of the paperback edition of "Thomas Jefferson, Rachel & Me" sold in 24 hours overnight Friday-Saturday.
This comes after 1 paperback sale in all October and none before this in November.
Good reviews are wonderful but the best thing, I've learned, is sales.
Was a class assigned to read TJRM? A book club? Where? What time zone buys so many books in the wee hours of Eastern Standard Time? Most showed up between 3 and 6 am.
Nineteen individual one-copy orders directly through Amazon, one after the other. Never sold so many books in one day. Have been doing almost no marketing, no promotion. This is an Indie book that fits no genre ... a niche book.
Could it actually catch on one of these days, despite all the odds against it?
Can't find anything on the web that gives a clue why this little burst of sales occurred but it's a good feeling to know that something is still going on out there.
