Here I am at the edge

A sad end to an otherwise good month   September draws to an end, and what a month it's been for yours truly, with highs and a low point.   The big sale  -   hereiamattheedge.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/forgestriker-collection.html#.V-7m6DMrLnB . The surprise is all the books in the series sold in one night.   The good surprise is my  award-winning  e-book   www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008BEDMSO   sold after a 4-year gap.  The sad news is that we had to say farewell to our furry friend, Bear, this month :'(  She had a stroke and was taken from us, at least she didn't suffer.

Can things improve? This picture shows how I see my life as a writer; one long struggle against the tides of fortune. The ship in the picture in my writing, despite a highly successful science fiction series, and numerous sales platforms on Draft2Digital  I cannot sell 10 e-books a month.  If it weren't for the fact that one day this month, the Forgestriker series sold a whole series, this would be my worst month on Draft2Digital with seven sales. I would like to think things could improve, but even with the addition of three new titles nothing appears to be selling.  I have many ideas for stories, but with a lack of sales, my belief in the work has gone.

Make no mistakes I am the competition for sales in the world of SciFi   with my series  Forgestriker   selling 700 e-books in 2 1/2 years.  I don't expect to equal those figures; I never expected to see sales like that at all. I'll be happy if my other books sell a dozen copies each. If you read about my dismay as a writer, it's not for the number of sales as much as for what sells.

A slow month  August is all but over, and it's been a slow month for my sales. Other than one brief moment of joy when  Forgestriker  sold four copies in a night, the downward trend has continued despite the release of  Avenging Angel   and  The Cursed   on  Barnes & Noble .

DRAFT2DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE Only available from Draft2Digital is my new sci-fi story; I hope to turn Avenging Angel   https://www.draft2digital.com/book/150338 into a series if sales are good. Ladies of the night have a new friend, and the people of Kedgetown are on the lookout for a vigilante - or is it an angel?
