Sales Report: December

[jeriendhal]

Summary: Going back to a more average sales month after the brisk opening sales of Shadow of the Red Vixen from November. Sales of CotRV were down as I hunted illegal pdfs on various torrent sites, alas. The new cover for Triumvirate seems to have aided in its sales. Two sales doesn't sound very impressive, but it's better than one over three or four months, which is what I was averaging previously.

The real surprise was the dead overseas sales. Usually I can count on three or four of my various titles in the UK. This month there was only one borrow of CotRV. I didn't get any other international sales, not even Germans buying POW.

I'll have to watch my January sales to see if I get my usual mild bump from people getting new Kindles in their stockings for Christmas.


Things to Do: Legacy of the Red Vixen is proceeding very slowly still. December was a hyper busy month for me, and my depression has been really kicking me motivation to write. I also need to finish a short piece for Nez to pay for the Triumvirate cover, which is also crawling.

Further into the future the For Your Safety universe is still tugging at me, as is In Goddess's Hand. May work some on the former, since short stories are more fitting to my mood/motivation right now.

End of Year Summary will be along in a few days.

Two of those may be me! I got a kindle for Christmas (YASSSS) and since I did such a terrible terrible job of beta-ing for you, I decided that I definitely needed to buy some stories and rate them. They're not European sales because I made an American for my kindle - American amazon a much wider selection of books. I just don't remember if it was January by the time I bought them.

Thanks, Mehhay! Which ones did you get?

I got Triumvirate and The Dragon's Companion, and enjoyed them both a lot. Do you have any plans to continue the story of Teal?

I also just realised that I hadn't bought Shadow of the Red Vixen, so I quickly remedied that. Again, I'm sorry about the failure to beta for you - as soon as it landed in my inbox my life became insanely busy and I forgot all about it.

No worries about the beta. None of my other readers got back to me either. :/

As for Teal, she does show up briefly in one story from the Unexpected Diversions e-book edition. I've got half a manuscript from some years back detailing her further adventures (finally reconciling with Philosopher after she's kidnapped by his enemies and taken to the Dragon States), but I never managed to finish it.
