August 2014 Book Sales

My post will be brief today, as much is going on in my world. The last couple of days have been very emotional, in a good way. Things have happened, things that I might someday discuss on my other blog.

But for now I’ll just report August 2014 book sales. I sold 12 books, near as I can tell. I don’t understand how Amazon counted the pre-sales for my novels Headshots. The sales report says two were pre-ordered, and that they would post to the novel sales on the day of release. However, only one posted on that day, August 28. I contacted Amazon about it, and they said I only had one preorder and that was the sale that posted on the 28th. I’m about to respond to them, “Then why did my pre-order report show two pre-orders?” For now, I’m just counting it as one sale. Given that’s the only sale I had of it, you could say my novel release, including going for pre-orders, was a huge flop. “It’s a long tail game” I keep telling myself.

Here’s the sales table.  I’ll insert s smaller one later for display at Absolute Write.
