Hello, and thanks for looking at my little old blog. My brand new graphic novel, Romeo and Juliet, is launching soon on Kickstarter and we'd love your support to make it happen. You can bagsy a signed first edition for just pocket money, or get bespoke original artwork from me, or, if you really fancy, you could appear in the book itself! Please check out the Kickstarter (free, no obligation) and help my new book become a reality. Thankyou for your attention to this matter. Now on with the blog...
Look at those marvellous sales figures on Draft 2 Digital. Blimey, have I really sold 100 books this month? Well no, no I haven't. I've given away 100 books. Check out that cash total, I've actually taken $3.73. What's happened is that I've taken part in the Smashwords promotion, which I think means people are looking at the digital ebook versions of my books. I guess the idea is that you hook people to your books, and when the next one comes along they'll buy it. But I have obviously not got that together. However if I think of it as giving my books away in the library, then I'm glad people are reading them and it's interesting to see what's popular.
We can see that 20 people have downloaded the Omnibus edition of my Shakespeare books, which is very encouraging. The next most popular are Punk An Illustrated History (the colouring book, but concentrating on the text, with the pictures secondary) on 11; Richard The Third, Tales From The Bible, PODS and MNDT on 9; then Who Notes on 7, and all the others having at least a couple of takers.
The books that have actually earned money are the new Socks Shakespeare book, Richard The Third, PODS, and MNDT. See these sales in the context of the rest of July's sales, live and online, here.
