Just last month, when I sold 450 books, I wouldn't have believed that I'd sell over 1,000 books in March. And many of those books--especially Dating My Vibrator (and other true fiction) were sold in the UK. At one point the book was #211 in UK Kindle:
- Average Customer Review: (5 customer reviews)
- Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #211 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
- #1 in Books > Romance > Short Stories
- #1 in Books > Fiction > Women Writers & Fiction > Short Stories
- #2 in Books > Biography > Social & Health Issues > Divorce
I'm not writing this to brag (well maybe a little), but because I want to share how explosive the ebook market has become. People are doubling and tripling sales each month. And, like many others, I'm a complete unknown--at least as far as New York publishing is concerned.
My other news: Vestal Virgin--suspense set in ancient Rome is now available in trade-paperback. I don't think it's linked up yet on Amazon, but I'll let you know when it is. The book is absolutely gorgeous, thank to Jeroen ten Berge's design and Terry Roy's formatting.
Suzanne, Good for you! This is absolutely terrific. Plus I've been meaning to tell you for ages that I just love your titles. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Ruth. That means a lot coming from a great writer like you!
ReplyDelete(I seem to come up with titles when I'm swimming!)
You are a credit to the short story genre. Just goes to show that they *can* sell quite well. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alain! Short story writers unite!
