So my first published book, a novella titled Shadows Remain, has been out now for about 5 weeks, and the experience has been overwhelming. In a good way. From the very first time I promoted it on Facebook, friends and family have taken it and run with it, posting the link on their pages and spreading the word. The support has been amazing. To date, it has sold almost 80 paperback copies and a handful as ebooks. I hosted a giveaway for 3 signed copies on goodreads.com and nearly 1300 people were interested enough to enter. (1300!! Holy crap!) From those who have read the book, I have received nothing but good reviews and positive feedback. It's been incredibly received.
So, needless to say, the last 5 weeks has been a fun ride. Hopefully, it's just the beginning...
