Well, here I am. A self-published author. My story is not terribly unique. I had ideas, I had the tools, then I finally had the time. I am thankful I had exposure to a lot of well-known writers via podcasts and other social media. They provided the inspiration and also grounded me and told me what to expect. So far they've all been spot on. Same goes for you wonderful people here at Absolute Write. The wealth of knowledge and support has been a boon to me. Bless you, all!
My first novel, Rasere's War, went live only 3 weeks ago on Amazon and Smashwords. So far to date, I have sold 39 units. 28 eBooks and 11 paperbacks. I hadn't intended to offer a paperback, but interested parties insisted on it. A few readers have bought both versions! I priced the eBook at $0.99 because it's my introductory entry to my planned series.
Promotion was through various press outlets in the virtual world of Second Life and via my social media channels (FB, Twitter).
My follow up novel is well on track. Just need to make a few more revisions before I send it out to beta readers. With more material available I hope to make more of an impression on future readers.
