The Good, the Bad and the Ugly~
Good~
So I have been riding the most amazing roller coaster ride for the past month or so, since my first book, Fate Knows Best was released. I think I crashed my Facebook app…(twice) and hit the refresh button on BookStrand (a bajillion) times. I did a dorky happy dance when Fate Knows Best hit #1 in sales on BookStrand and held it for nearly 3 weeks. I was a complete spaz.
Less than a month later book 2, Fated to Be Family was released and broke into the top 10 for Menage on BookStrand. I currently have two books in two different genres in the top 10.
My poor overly caffeinated self can barely make it through the day I’m tweaking all over the place.
And the…
Fate Knows Best hits Amazon. (whimper)
Bad~
I got my first unfavorable review (for which I stuck out my tongue in protest)
Ugly good ~
Then the most amazing thing happened. My book started to really sell on Amazon.
My overall Kindle Store rating is went from 15k, to 13k to 5k and is now sitting at 3,451. I’m raked 1#171 in the Erotic section in the Kindle store!
But what I have loved the most about the past month has been all of the new friends/readers that I have met on Facebook, who have reached out to me, simply to tell me how much they have loved my books. They ask when the next one is coming out and have been the most supportive readers ever! I look forward to every scene I write now hoping that it will be one that everyone enjoys.
So first month is over and I think I did okay. Book 3 is finished and I’m wrapping up personal edits this week. Book 4 has been started. I hope that I make more important friends and that my books will always make at least one other person smile.
