Okay, a couple of weeks ago someone asked me how many books I’d sold in May. I don’t keep a close eye on the numbers. Anyway, I added everything up and my jaw hit the table. It was damn close to half a million books sold in one month, and when that’s added to the previous books sold that means…

Dut du-duh-duuuuuuuuuuuh! I’ve sold over a million books since she started self publishing in 2011!

It kind of snuck up on me. That’s an amazing number of books. When I started I thought I could sell 8,000 books total. That number seemed unattainable then, and I remember passing it. I can’t even picture a million books. Would that fill up my living room? My house? I have no idea.

My first month of publishing March 2011, I sold 20+ books
My second month 200+
In Jan 2013 I passed 100,000 books sold total

Total number of published works: 37 (about 1/2 novellas, 1/2 novels)
Main marketing tool: Facebook

I have to say a huge, ginormous thank you to all the fans that picked up my book in the very beginning, way back before anyone even knew who I was. You guys took a chance on me and I can’t thank you enough!
