May 2013 Book Sales

I feel blessed to have had a rather successful May in terms of book sales.  I had gone through the trouble of making some very nice Excel tables and charts to present the data, because I think they show some interesting trends.  Unfortunately, you can't post Excel charts/tables here (and I'm not sophisticated enough to use other applications), so we'll just have to make do with the raw numbers.


The month started off a little slow; I published Sensation on Kindle on May 3, and I had a grand total of 3 sales for the week ending May 11, but things quickly picked up.

In essence, I started off selling 3 copies per week on Kindle and ended the month selling more than 30 books per day and ranked #1 in multiple categories.  This, of course, is success at a greater level and far faster pace than I ever anticipated, and I really don't know what factors to attribute it to other than the fact that, as my mother always says, GOD is good.  I think it also helped that I received some good reviews, both on Amazon and other places, such as the Comic Book Bin. 

Basically, despite a few editing errors/typos in an early version (the book has since been professionally edited and had all such errors corrected), May was a great month.  In addition, June also got off to a robust start (see below), so things are going quite well at the moment.

 

I previously wrote in another post about that fact that I was having such overwhelming success with  Sensation that Warden had become kind of an afterthought.  However, it has been doing well, despite only being published on Kindle during the last week of April.

I'm extremely proud of these numbers, and the fact that Warden is currently ranked #23 in one of  its categories (as well as #53 in another).  It's taking a little more time, but I'm certain that eventually it can be just as successful as Sensation. (And, just like my other title, Warden has been professionally edited to make sure it is error-free.)

In short, I count myself fortunate to be enjoying a modicum of success early on with respect to these books.  I'm praying that my work continues to gain momentum and resonate with readers, and I thank everyone for their support.

*FYI:  For the first 5 days of June Sensation sold over 300 copies (close to 70 books per day).  As of today, June 10, Warden has sold over 60 copies.  Thanks again, everyone, for all your support.  I know that past performance is no guarantee of future results, but...Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Platinum #315+316: The Long Reach (PS4 NA & EU)

Hey there! A short and easy pixel-art game with a few survival elements. Very enjoyable! What is the game all about? The Long Reach is a 2D side-scrolling adventure / point and click game mixed with a few survival horror elements. The pixel-art is very appealing and retro-fans will love this game.
