Well it dawned on me that today is the three month anniversary of when I indie published my first book, Intuition, on Amazon. 
Intuition, published March 15, 2012- 2,342
Touch of Fate, published April 1, 2012- 2,246
Mind Play, published June 10, 2012- 263
Total books sold 4,851 on Amazon.com,
Not including any of the other Amazon sites. It also doesn’t include the 17,000+ free downloads from participating in the Amazon Select program that I ran on Easter Weekend. So far, not a bad start for my Bennett Sisters Series. I’m sure compared to some authors, that my numbers aren’t even the tip of the iceberg, but I’m happy at with the track I’m on. On July 2, 2012 all of my books go up on Barnes and Noble so wish me luck on this crazy journey into the unknown.
Had I known that people would find the crazy stories running around in my head entertaining, well, I would have tried this a LONG time ago.
As for the series, I’ve just finished plotting book 4, and will start writing it tomorrow.
There have been several that asked how I did it, and my answer I think is luck. I picked a good genre, I picked to write a series, and I have friends that have supported me 100%. My writing skills will get better as time moves on and the more I learn about the craft, but it’s been one hell of a ride so far and I’m hoping to stay on this rollercoaster for a long time. (Even if my children tell me I’m crazy.)
So anyone that is considering writing and self-publishing, I wish you all the best and consider this as your invitation to hop on the crazy train.
