I was interested in your encouraging posts about being a best-selling author. I hadn’t realised that it was a big deal to sell every day on Kindle Amazon. So can I do a retrospective brag? Because I sold every day for the first eight months when my first book was released in May 2015. And it went up to number 2 in my category (alternative history). Does that mean I can say I’m a best-selling author too? I have to add that I did have a ready-made audience of Ricardians (there are a lot of us!), but still…! 🙂
There are lots of books that I have released that have done tremendously well, but there are very few that make sales every single day. It’s something to be very proud of and you should be proud of it, too! Great job!
I wrote a picture book and am halfway through storyboarding the illustrations for it. I also have several illustrations in progress for Book Two in the “Theodore and the Enchanted Bookstore” series by K. Kibbee, along with one that is finished (first draft stage). Also, I have another concept idea percolating for a second picture book which I’ve started taking notes on and writing a few lines down here and there as they come to me. 🙂
