March was just as dismal as February in terms of sales. I don’t know that I officially posted February’s sales. I sold two whole books in February. In March I again sold two books. That actually made March more dismal than February, since it had three more days in it. That gives me 13 sales for the year, which is three less than I had at this time last year with only three publications out instead of nine.

Here’s my sales table. I’m not going to post a graph. Interestingly those two sales were of my first two self-published works.

So, I guess I need to re-think going with the Dean Wesley Smith strategy of ignoring promotion and putting all my effort into adding new titles. It seems I can’t get my new titles out fast enough to keep the interest of readers. That, plus my Genre Identity Disorder, seem to be working against sales.

But I don’t really like promotion, so for now I’ll keep writing and trying to bring new works to the market. China Tour is probably two months away at the rate I’m editing (which is very slow). I have nothing else in the works, though I’m thinking of taking some items I’ve written for work and turning them into generic professional engineering publications and putting them out there. It won’t help much with those who have bought my other works, but maybe it will bring in a few sales.

And, adding a smaller version of the table to upload to Absolute Write.
