June sales

Image
No change As expected, Draft2Digital    https://www.draft2digital.com/book/   has expanded, but there has been no increase in my ebook sales figures. If the truth is told, the increase in platforms selling my ebooks , and not having any increase in sales can be viewed as a backward step; which is why I am not putting my stock on any more sites.

New Look

                                                                      I keep editing For several reasons, the least being the amount of adverse reaction I got when I said my romance novel was partially set in Israel , I am rewriting the book, this time with the lady working in Spain . The story's mystery is that though the lady lives and works in Spain, she does not appear to be Spanish. Added to my original story, the rewrite will have added tension between the two main characters.

Did we see him?

Image
This is such a shock, last week I was amazed that a book cracked the 100,000 in the USA. Today I saw "Did we see him?" has shot to 39,383 in the UK. I have no reason for this as there have been no sales. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Did-we-see-him-ebook/dp/B007T943OO/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1 http://www.amazon.com/Did-we-see-him-ebook/dp/B007T943OO/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1340449574&sr=1-1&keywords=Did+we+see+him%3F

Pat Canella (the dockland murders)

Although Pat Canella appears to have died a death at Amazon with no sales for Dockland murders this month and only ONE for "Ghosts of your past" in total. I just had a nice surprise. I was checking the Waterstones site as I took a long shot and put her on line there, not expecting much. To find that today she sold 3 copies. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canella-dockland-murders-Canella-ebook/dp/B0078VZREI/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_3 http://www.amazon.com/Canella-dockland-murders-Canella--ebook/dp/B0078VZREI/ref=la_B0076M5BNG_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1340277850&sr=1-7

Sales Figures from Google

Image
A Growing Market The latest sales figures from Google are that I've sold 23 ebooks I'm three years. This you may think isn't a lot, but this is almost as many as I've sold on Amazon in nearly 16 years, including my bestseller; at the moment, there is no clear leader as several books have sold more than one copy.

WIP Update

Image
                                     Down in the Dump A horror story set in India . Betaal is finished and on sale at    https://www.draft2digital.com/book/1091334 ; this turned out to be a short story of 10 pages. A romance set in Spain . This story will require a major reworking, I found out that during my data clearance schemes this month, I deleted about half of the pages of this story, not to worry. I can recall most, if not all, of what I had written. A  travel and romance story that crosses Europe and goes to India . The Unspoken Truth is in the WIP stage at 14 pages so far; there could be two versions coming out of this story.  The shorter edition is a stand-alone short story. The longer version of the story is listed as " A Homecoming Special Edition ", as I made an error putting the draft of it online, but it is a new story from the original " A Homecoming   https://www.draft2digital.com/book/621255 " story, as the story now goes to Spain , and India ,

News from Spook Central

eBook sales There are several reasons for heading this post,  Spook Central . My early short stories were ghost and spiritual stories; my early rep as a writer was for writing exciting ghost stories, even if few sold. Now, I can add to the list I don't check my eBook sales figures, there is no point in checking for something you know is not happening.
