Amazon eBook Sales

Okay...I have to admit when I signed the agreement with Amazon KDP to sell my ebooks exclusively on their site I was skeptical. Of course, my 1st novel 'The Coming of the Wolf' had been available on Amazon and Smashwords since June...and I wasn't thrilled with my sales numbers. Then, I did Amazon's KDP.

In the month of December, I had 1608 downloads + 8 borrowed of 'The Coming of the Wolf' and 12 downloads of the sequel 'Enter the Wolf'. I was thrilled. Of course, most of those downloads were the five days after Christmas when I had my 1st novel for free but that meant 1600+ new readers for me. Since then, I've had steady downloads on both books in January. Last night I hit the 200 mark + 30 borrowed on my 1st book and 50+ sold on the sequel. I am extremely happy.

I'm not where I want to be but I'm on my way. I realize that this is a marathon not a sprint. For those who have read my books, please take a moment to write a review on Amazon (good, bad or indifferent). Your reviews help. Once again, thanks for reading my work.
