A quick recap of the year

I’ve been quiet posting on the business and nerdy techie side of��publishing these past few months because I’ve been busy writing. I’m concentrating on a military SF/ space opera series called the Human Legion. Books 1 & 2 are out and I’m working on book 3. Making good progress too.

The books have done pretty well. Both have topped international bestseller charts for their genre.��For the publishers and self-publishers who follow these things, both books have benefited very much from being Kindle-exclusive. Which I understand is annoying for those people who read other eBook formats, and frustrating for me, but I can’t afford to ignore the financial benefits. Being exclusive has helped my sales ranking and that’s helped people to try out the book.��This month, the sales of book2 are 82% of the sales of book1; so I guess I’m doing something right.

Amazon gave me a nice sticker on a couple of my books a few days ago to say I’m a Kindle All Star!! Which sounds a bit cheesy, but does mean I get to be on these nice pictures I’ve copied below, which is great. It also makes me feel a little humble to think of all those thousands of people who borrowed my books to get them there. (So far, since Christmas 2014, ��I’ve had about 8,000 borrows and 22,000 purchases).

Happy Days!
