Well!
The spot on the View came and went, and I'd estimate about half my sales this month were due to it. Including about 80% of the print sales. I haven't seen print numbers like that since, well, ever.
But a week after the show hit, my tail dragged down again. I'm almost back to regular numbers, sadly. Was hoping for a few more zeroes in there. Ah, c'est la vie. I won't gripe, I got lucky with what I got. I'll take it and be happy.
And after much stewing and fretting, I've decided to release Bunkercore in September. I need to keep momentum going, and work on the RPG has slowed me down a bit. So Bunkercore will go out there as a test, we'll see how it does, and I'll figure out whether or not I want to seriously continue with it. Yeah, it has issues, but if it sells, then I can't fuss too much. I'll make it work.
The RPG is almost done. Womploads of pages almost ready to go out to my mailing list... Hopefully they'll give it a good test and let me know what works. If they don't, then that's fine. I can run it at the local RPG cons, and refine the system that way.
I really need to get back into a groove. Been slacking a bit, and that's unhealthy. Still, I'm not in a bad spot. Got several ideas percolating, and the freedom to work on whatever I want.
Especially since the Threadbare 2 audiobook released a week ago, and shot up the charts, renewing interest in Threadbare 1 as well. It's a solid launch, and it's bringing its predecessor with it. And given that Threadbare's third audiobook should be a little over a month away, this'll be a solid streak that keeps going. I'll get my first quarterly audio royalties in September. I'm expecting a good, solid chunk.
Then, some months after that, the Dire books will start their slow march onto the scene, one after the other...
Yeah. I think I'll be all right. We'll see how Bunker Core goes, but I'm not too worried. Got plenty of room to get something else out there if it doesn't go so hot, and a decent Christmas bonus if it does...
