it was a dark and stormy night...
Aug. 6th, 2007 12:26 pmwell - I received my sales report from the publisher since the book was released May 1. It's sold 535 copies! Wow! that's past my expectations by nearly twice! I could not be happier! I have done silly math all morning like - nearly 40 copies a week - or 5 copies a day. I know that a lot of my sales have been from folks here on Live Journal - and I'm eternally grateful! I makes me VERY happy to see the book launching this successfully.
Now I'm working on getting into strategic locations and periodicals - so that when booksellers and LGBT readers are getting ready for Christmas 2007 - they know just what hardback to be putting underneath the tree for that special reader. NO rest for the wicked in this biz.
I spent yesterday evening - continuing the map and the sketching for novel #2 (tentatively titled THE BOOK OF ROUGH METAPHORS) - and I realized how much I missed the creative process of being lost in the characters, where they have been - and where I'm going to take them.
( The little short blurbette of Robert and Bill at the pool - behind a cut )
The little blurbette that started back in July is all forming out into something quite remarkable - and I'm excited to go there in the coming months.
Yay!3
I keep a postcard of Snoopy on top of his doghouse typing "It was a dark and stormy night..." on my desk at home. :) It's nice to know that I have company on the journey.
