Summary: Well that sucked, or maybe it didn't. Only 8 sales, but I had about 600 KOLL pages read, which would sound more impressive if Amazon would deign to actually tell me what they're paying per page.

Things to Do: Still working on Shadow of Doubt which is coming along (relatively) quickly. Hoping to have it down within a month if I'm lucky ( Read more... )

Summary: Very late report this time around. Sorry

The sales slump continues. I have to get new stories out. About the only good thing is I've got one short RVA tale in the can and two longer novellas in production. But the two cover artists I habitually use are unavailable now and finding another that will work at such reasonable rates is daunting ( Read more... )

Summary: Decidedly meh sales month. Not the way I'd wanted to end the year, though the New Year is starting a bit brighter, with four sales already this morning. Sales of the audiobook continue to be lousy, with only one at the beginning of the month. I need to figure out how ot promote it better I think.

Summary: A very good month, both in sales and the progress thus far on my Kickstarter campaign to fund an audiobook of CotRV. It’s been a success so far and we’re less than $50 away from the $600 funding goal, which I’m hoping to hit by this weekend.

Also someone in Germany decided to read through a lot of my collection (waves to Claudia).

Summary: Much, much, much better month than the last. Especially given that the first day of May I got 2/3'rds the sales I'd recieved in April. Also gained a dedicated fan who made a nice TV Tropes page for the while Red Vixen Adventures.

Things to Do: Still waiting on the cover art for Blooded (no pressure Nez, I know how it is). Got an opening ( Read more... )

Summary: Sales down a bit from January, but not by much. Things were brightened by brisk sales of Shadow of Her Sins, which reached a respectable ten copies in the Amazon US store despite being released in the middle of the month.

Unfortunately my attempt to use KDP's discount promotion tool on Captive of the Red Vixen and Shadow of the Red Vixen ( Read more... )

Summary: Good sales, though not as much as December. Best of all I finally finished the draft for Shadow of Her Sins, so I now can send it off to be beta read and massaged into a readable format.

Things to Do: Still need to write up some more For Your Safety stories to create an anthology or two. Now that SoHS is done I also want to work on Legacy ( Read more... )

Summary: Much better sales this month. I'm still a believer in the Christmas Bump, as I managed to get five sales alone on Christmas Day. Adding in the total year's sales from Smashwords and I've easily topped five hundred dollars in pre-tax profit. That's a first in the three years or so that I've been selling my stories online.

Summary: Low sales month compared to the last one, hampered by two or three dickweeds dissatisfied customers who bought at least ten different stories and then immediately sent them back. I'm absolutely certain that they didn't save a copy off line to read anyway. [/sarcasm] Also for some reason there were absolutely no overseas this month, for not ( Read more... )

Summary: A definite WTF month. It seemed for a quite a while I was going to just get a single sale on everything except Mimsey's Tale, which I think got boosted a bit by Amazon's usual “If you bought this you might want to check out” spam mails. But things perked up a little in the last week with the usual furry suspects.
