1000

[thoreau]

I got a royalties/sales report today on House of Wolves and on March 1 - including the e-books (PDF) versions - it has now officially sold 1004 copies. It sold hard and heavy over the summer and fall (a few book stores stocking with 100-200 copies over 9 months (from April to Christmas time)) - and is slowing down considerably now - 30 copies or so a month. (mostly hardback curiously enough) I am so thrilled at the reception of the novel - particularly since I'm doing my own marketing. But being in the Spring and Fall Gay and Lesbian Quarterly was a HUGE deal - (the metrics reports of where/how folks are purchasing are very interesting) and I will continue advertising there as part of the IUniverse cluster.

thats where iUniverse comes in. They'll publish it - because it's print on demand. I worked with traditional publishers for three years - and came real close to publishing then would get dropped when this person left their firm or this rule changed. Check iUniverse out - despite the fact that they don't do distribution? they've been very good to me.
