It is truly hard to believe that December
marks five years since I published the first of my books at Smashwords. Now
I’ve got seven multi-format eBooks available through a number of online retail
sales channels, including Barnes & Noble, the Apple iBookstore, Kobo, and
others. I was happy to embrace the eBook format to accompany my print books.
Like most other indie authors, my eBooks now account for virtually all of my
sales.
In the past five years, tens of thousands
of copies of my books have found their way into the hands, or devices, of
readers. I’m really pleased with those numbers. What makes me even happier is
the response I’ve noted in reviews. My books have been called inspiring, and
‘the most emotional’ ever read, and many other positive things.
More importantly, I hope that my books will
have an impact, and that’s truly why I write. I write what I’m inspired to
write, and I write for myself.
I will take this opportunity to admit that
I’ve not published anything new in the last two years. The extra demands of
work have left no time for me to fully complete any of my works in progress. I
have, however, continued to come up with new story ideas, and I have a number
of them in the ‘story outline’ stage. At some point in the near future, still
to be determined, I very much want to spend more time writing. In the meantime,
I’m very pleased and honored to note that my sales reports indicate that my
books continue to find new readers.
So, thanks for reading.
