The Book Sales - Oh The Sales

Thought I Would Walk Up On Top Of A Mountain To Update Things

Like every writer I know, we are ecstatic when sales take off and upset when they grow stagnant. However, that is the nature of selling books, a few good days, and some, well, I will only say, on days when I sell no books at all I wish I would not have checked the stats.

My latest two books, Interview with a Gunfighter 

and, Ghost of the Fawn,

Have stayed in the top 200 of their categories for several weeks. With three new books coming soon I have high hopes for the future. I have been told that when I reach ten books, I will see a steady uptick in sales – hope so.

Yesterday was International Chocolate Day, and yes I did partake. Today is, Read A Christmas Story In July Day – preferably a tale from out west. And yes I made that up, and yes I just happen to have a book of Christmas Stories from out west. See it here – give it a look by clicking and reading the free sample. Stories from many time periods and for all ages.

Order The Books - Sell the Books

It's that time of year again. I made a rather big order of my books for distribution, this summer. I peddle these to local and area booksellers and take them with me on speaking engagements. 

We Got a Few Drops of Rain With a Very Nice Sunset Today

I like having the ability to sell books out of the trunk or a big box. Great chance to talk with readers. I sign all of these books, and my nonfiction books have a custom bookmark with them as well. I am looking at designing another bookmark for my westerns. Right now I just enclose a nice business card with web and blog sites, and a where to, for purchasing digital books. 

I Ordered Copies of All But My Two Young Adult Books
 Next Month for Those, as I have a Few Left From Last Purchase. 

All projects going very well right now looks like I will, at last, get my new book out - timeline now by the end of the month. After that, I have another historical fiction and a novella, a western that should follow relatively quickly. By then the snow will be in the air, and it will be time to get back to work on my nonfiction. 

That's about it for now - keep reading and keep writing.

You Can Find Me Everywhere

I posted on my writing site last week that, “Lately I have been a bit dismayed at my book sale totals.”   Then the next week I sell more books than I have all month – go figure. Difficult to tell when a book might sell. I am not very good at self-promoting even if this site was built for that.

Working Away - Even If I Am Too Slow

Seems to be a slow time for both my writing and publishing. Seems to me there was some old saying that went something like this, The hurrieder I go the behinder I get -  or something similar. That is the way I am feeling right now. I had a book scheduled for release the last day of February and it still is sleeping ZZZZZZZZZZ on my computer. I am getting closer, now hoping for an end of May, fingers crossed, release. 

Sometimes Old Looks Pretty Good

Meanwhile, keep on  reading, keep on writing and for me, keep on editing. 

Since hurrieder and behinder are not real words, I am sure spelling will not matter. Had no idea how to spell either. I think that old saying was on a napkin holder when I was growing up. 

Looks Like It Is Going To Be A Terrific Year For Wildflowers In Wyoming

A Read to Remember Growing up in the 50s and 60s

At last, it is looking like spring, time for a good book to read on the deck, or if you have one, the front porch. If you grew up in the fifties or sixties, these are the books for you. They were written for kids or for grandparents to read to the grandkids, but make good quick reads for anyone with nostalgia for their growing up years, way back when. These are the first two of a planned series of five, which might turn into six.

Fast paced humorous reads, of growing up in the 50s.  Oh, but they are fiction, and that is the reason for a friendly but odd, Ghost in the first book and a mixed up Zombie in the second.
