Matthew Edwards's Blog: Goblin Spotters Anonymous - Posts Tagged "dryad"

Well, my first commercially published book is just about to hit the shelves and I have to say I am nervous. I have never organized a book launch; and (as I can rarely organize my way out bed in the morning) I am concerned.
Is there anyone out there who can link me with data to show if there is any correlation between a successful launch and book popularity? It could be calming to know what I am headed for. For those interested it is on the 10th of march at 6:30 at Emanuel Lutheran Church Adelaide South Australia. The book is a young adult fantasy called Jonah and The Clockwork Goblin.

So it has been and gone and has been called successful. What does that mean exactly? I sold / signed a lot of books. My wife's hand made dolls of the characters in my book went down a treat. seventy four guests, Rosanne Hawk as a speaker and sixty two sales. I could get used to this. Time to finish my new story... Or a sequel...
