Paperback SALE!!!!!
I have too many paperback copies of my books sitting in my office and instead of just staring at them, I would like to offer them to YOU!
I can fit up to 3 of my paperbacks in a U.S. Post Office Priority Mail envelope (which is a flat rate shipping fee of $4.75 plus $1.80 insurance for domestic mail - international is at least double the fee and will be calculated individually).
Wait ... where's the savings? You can choose any combination of my paperbacks (Anathema, Oubliette, or Sleepers) for $5 per book up to 3 books. Three copies of Anathema? $15 (plus s&h&i). One of each? $15 (plus s&h&i).
How do you take advantage of this? Simple. Email me your choice of paperbacks (up to 3) and I will send you a PayPal invoice. Easy peasy.
BUT WAIT ... THERE'S MORE!
I'll sign the books and include bookmarks!!!!!
This is until my supplies last, so ACT NOW! (Wow, I totally sounds like an infomercial...maybe I should have vlogged this? LOL!)

April Sales Figures
So, all the indies post their sales numbers each month. Why should I be any different?
For April I didn't have any expectations other than to beat March's total of 157. There's no magic formula to increase sales. How can I force someone to buy my book? I can't, so I just do my best and hope the word spreads.
In April I decided to reduce Anathema's price to 99 cents. Sure, there was a part of me that hoped I'd magically start selling thousands of copies a day. Who doesn't want to buy something for 99 cents? I even started this crazy little Twitter campaign where I made posts like this:
#99cents won't erase stretch marks, but it will buy Anathema, a #YA #fantasy! http://amzn.to/etHCN2 #kindle #nook #ebook
I honestly don't know if those posts did anything other than make my friends giggle. Those tweets were obnoxious at times, I admit, but that's part of my personality.
Okay, I'll get to my totals:
Feb: 82
March: 157
April: 162
Total: 401
Some people have suggested maybe I shouldn't share my sales since they aren't astronomical. You know what? Last year all I heard was, "No" from agents. Well, this year I've heard, "YES!" from over 400 people.
I think that's awesome and I'll take it! ;)
Peace out!
