I just had to delete like nearly 100 fake subscribers that were trying to hack the site. If you use a username that starts with test, it’s kinda a dead giveaway…
Not sure what’s going on, but all the way up to Saturday, October 29th, I was averaging around $13/day, both in sales and page reads. Was pretty consistent since the launch of Zero Point. Then Sunday, I only made around $7, then Monday, just a smidge above $2. Today, I didn’t even break $2, so something seems to be going on. Not sure if it was Halloween trick-or-treating that did it, but as of right now, I’m at a loss for why sales just dried … Read more
My first week of having Zero Point available for purchase hasn’t been too shabby. Based on the numbers, I’m going to gross right around $150 for my first week, including pre-sales. Granted, I spent around $60 in advertising for that, but half of that was toward pre-sale marketing. As it stands right now, I’m earning around $1.50 for every dollar spent on advertising. As long as I’m earning more than I’m spending, I’m okay with it. That’s not to say I’m not going to be … Read more
Rick’s only hope of survival is for Kaitlyn and Zarina to find an ancient device that might not exist After falling into a coma from their previous mission, Rick’s life is slowly slipping away. Making matters worse, his healing factor is cannibalizing his body in an attempt to break him out of it. It’s only a matter of time before his body fails due to starvation. Going against direct orders, Kaitlyn and Zarina race against time to find a mythical item that might be Rick’s … Read more
So now that Book 4 is off with the beta readers, I’ve pivoted toward going through the process of creating a physical version of books 1-3 (and eventually 4) of the Nibiru Rising series. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for over three years now, but due to reasons, it just never happened. But today, I’ve started doing the typesetting/formatting to create the physical versions. Now that I’ve started to get back into the swing of things, writing/publishing-wise, I’m starting to put together everything … Read more
Nibiru Rising – Book 4 is off with the beta readers now. Once I get their impressions back, I’ll revise as needed, then hand it off to the editor. I’ve been tossing an idea back and forth in my head, and this past Sunday, I decided to take a stab at it. Sunday is usually my only guaranteed day off during the week, so I’ve long considered making it a routine to hit the local Barnes & Noble that day to focus on writing short … Read more
Just a quick update. The revised draft for book 4 is done. Now I need to track down 3-4 beta-readers to read through it. If it’s something you might be interested in, drop me an email.
Now that I got my new mobile platform, I decided to take it out for a road test. I have to say, I really like it. The keyboard I decided to get is a Goldtouch GO!2 BT wireless keyboard, and I have to say, it’s really nice. The keys don’t feel mushy like some of the other keyboards I’ve used in the past. It actually feels as nice as a full-fledged desktop keyboard with the added benefit of folding up to nearly the same size … Read more
Looks like I won’t be able to publish book 4 until late June, early July due to the backlog of my editor. They let me know that, if an earlier slot becomes available, I might get it back sooner. Here’s hoping…
Currently in the final stretch. Revisions for Book 4 of the Nibiru Rising series should be completed by the end of the week. Once that’s done, going to run it through the spell checker, then send it out to beta readers. Once I get it back, will make the appropriate changes, if any, then send it to my editor. Once I get it back, it should only take a couple more weeks before it’s published, assuming the cover is ready. In the meantime, I should … Read more
