Well, I finally sold my first paperback copy of Tales of a Stranger Sister. It appears that my cunning and subtle sales strategy of standing in the middle of a busy intersection and screaming “Buy my book!” is finally working.
To the three people on Earth that appreciated that reference, I thank you.
But in all seriousness, thank you, physical book-buying stranger. The fact that you not only took a chance on my debut effort, but wanted a copy that will physically sit on your shelf somewhat blows my mind. It was a pleasant emotional boost on what has been a very trying week for me personally.
I promise you, I don’t plan to use this blog just to report every single sale I’ve made. Like I said above, it’s been an emotionally trying week in my personal life and simple things like that take up less mental energy than most other things right now.
That said, I do plan to use this site for some additional content beyond just promoting Tales of a Stranger Sister while I work on my next book. I have some additional material about my first novel in the pipeline both in the forms of bonus materials and in behind-the-scenes minutiae. I also want to talk more about the writing process, both what I’ve learned during creating Tales and what I’m applying from that experience toward my next novel. To summarize, I plan to detail the interesting mistakes I made, what I learned from them, and the amazing new mistakes I’m making now.
I also want to talk more about the things I love beyond writing. Other books I’ve read and loved (or loathed), media I’m enjoying be it TV, Film, Comic, or Game, and I might even share some snippets of what two writers sharing both a home and life together is like.
But that will have to wait until next time. I need to head back out into the intersection now.
