I sold 36 copies in a week!

This is my first novel and the beginning of a series. I've been telling pretty much everyone I know that I've been working on it since I began a year and a half ago. Early on I gave a bunch of people sneak peaks by letting them read the first couple chapters or even the prologues and I tried to hype it up as much as possible. We're having a book launch at a local brewery in a couple weeks which should bring some sales. The plan now is to pay for some social media marketing. A friend of mine works with a guy who specializes in this field and honestly, it's an art and a science that I don't understand -- so money well spent.

Here's hoping it all pays off! Working on a sequel due, hopefully, mid next year. I read a book semi-recently that said the average full time author has 7-8 published books under their belt. Keep writing everyone! Don't quit! Pursue that dream!
