I have a lot to update!
In May of last year I self published my erotic paranormal romance novel. It is the first book in my series. Within the year I self pubbed a novelette and novella for the series and have another novella coming out within the next 2 months. Currently, I am working on the next 2 novels in my series. I have had sales that have exceeded my expectations, granted my expectations were really low
I thought I would only sell 2 books if I was lucky!
It's been a lot more than that!
I have a website, an internet presence on almost every social media outlet available, a blog, and I actually have some "fans" on Goodreads!
Reviews have been really good. My only downfall was my 1st book needed editing & any negative review I received, was because of that. As it stands my 1st book has an average 3.17 star rating, my 2nd book 4.33 stars and my 3rd book 4.0 stars (this is from my reviews on Goodreads where I have the largest amount of reviews)
Right now a blogger is reading my 1st book for review on a popular blog for the genre I write. I'm nervous & excited at the same time!
It has been an amazing journey with highs and lows. At first, I really didn't take it too serious. Now I am treating it like it deserves to be treated, it is my career. I love what I do & have met so many wonderful, helpful people along the way. I have learned so much! My biggest lesson, I need a copy editor for my novels!
Once I hired one, and cleaned up my novel, I saw that spelling errors, and run on sentences can slip by no matter how many times you reread your own work it.
I have also written a novella that is an erotic romance and have that out on submission to epublishers. I'm curious to see, if it gets accepted, how that whole process works compared to self publishing. Crossing my fingers I hear good news soon.
My only issue is, I wish I had more time to write and could write faster! I have no idea how these authors out there can have novels out almost every month or two!
