Interesting, merrihiatt. Thanks for all your help in the thread I started, BTW. I kind of feel like starting a self-published author socializing/sale reporting/news thread... That would be fun, wouldn't it?
I really like hearing about what works and what doesn't work from you guys! It's been really helpful. I got my 5th sale today, which isn't much, I know, but I'm pleased that the book is being read!
Congrats to you!!! I'm not lighting the sales charts on fire either but each sale and positive review that came in from strangers calmed my nerves considerably. I want to sell books. I want to make a living at this. But even more than that I want to know I wrote a good story and so far people have been really receptive to my book and that has given me a boost more than even sales could give.
