Have you bought my book yet?
Well, if you have, you have contributed to two milestones: I made the 250th sale a couple of weeks ago, and this week, I passed four figures in earnings.
While that may not seem huge to you, realize that many, many independent authors barely get a few dozen sales.
So I would like to thank all of you who have purchased the book, let you know that book 2 is due out this October (although I’m behind schedule, so it may be delayed a month), Hugo-nominated Julie Dillon will be creating the cover art again, and I am determinedly on my way to a writing career.
You can read four chapters online. Amazon has been discounting the paperback edition. You can buy the discounted Kindle version, or purchase it on B&N and Kobo.
If you like young adult fantasy adventures (like Harry Potter), you’ll like Darkness Rising: Book One of The Catmage Chronicles. And if you don’t like them, but have children or cousins or nieces and nephews and grandchildren that do, well, buy a copy for them. Or contribute a copy to your local library.
I don’t have a tipjar here. I don’t get paid a dime to write this blog. But buying my book? Well, that will actually help keep this blog alive, because every dollar earned through my book helps make up for being downsized to part-time at my day job. And it makes me happy. And when I’m happy, I write more.
Meantime, I’m chugging away at the writing career, and pretty darned happy about it so far. I’m getting there. Step by step.
