New Milestone: 10,000 Audiobooks Sold

Okay, so I haven't posted for a while - been waiting for something momentous to talk about.  It was supposed to be completion of the next book (Kid Sensation #6), but I haven't been able to wrap it up yet, despite my best intentions.  And then this happened this morning:





That's 10,003 audiobooks sold.  Obviously not a bad way to start the day.  Of course, I knew it was coming, and had been watching for a couple of days to see when I'd go over the 10K mark.  Needless to say, there are others who have done a lot better than me, but I feel blessed to have cleared that hurdle just a little more than 2 years after getting into audio. 

The weird thing about it is that, initially, I didn't even think about making audio versions of my books (and it was years before I actually did).  Now, of course, I'm incredibly thankful that I took the plunge.  (That's me taking my own advice - as stated in another post on this blog - and deciding to pursue all possible revenue streams.) The goal at this juncture is to get audio versions of all my work, but I'd really like for Kid Sensation #6 to be the next audiobook so I've held back on getting any more done.

For those interested, I will say that getting to 10,000 audiobooks was much more of a chore than doing so with ebooks.  For starters, there are few avenues for marketing audiobooks, so promotion opportuities are limited.  (If you're lucky, maybe you'll have a book selected as the Audible Deal of the Day.  Hasn't happened to me yet, but I keep hoping.)  I did get a book selected for a different Audible promotion last fall (Warden: Book 1), and it helped me move a few hundred copies.  For the most part, however, it's been difficult finding a way to get audiobooks in front of the right audience.  That being the case, I count myself fortunate to have obtained this level of sales.

As always, I'm grateful to readers (and now listeners!) for their support.  If you don't yet have an Audible account, you can get a free trial (and a free copy of one of my audiobooks) by clicking on any of the relevant links on my Books Page.  And for those waiting on KS6, I'm working on it and will try to get it out as soon as possible.

Hey there! A short and easy pixel-art game with a few survival elements. Very enjoyable! What is the game all about?
