Sales and Junk

I said yesterday over at The Writing Spectacle that I would talk about sales and junk here today, so here I am. 

Sales to date: 850
Dying Embers - 454
Accidental Death - 379
Wish in One Hand - 17

Weeks since publication:
DE - 29
AD - 15
WE - 2

I'm averaging 4.08 books per day overall.

As for the junk, it's marketing stuff.  Now, understand that I have know way of directly linking my marketing efforts to sales - except for the big jumps I see after I place an ad with ENT.  From those two ads, I got 508 sales at the .99 price point (some with the 35% royalty and some with the 70% royalty.)  Here are some of the other places I've had ads:

Omnimystery News - both paid ads and free 'articles'
Goodkindles
Ereader News Today
Every Writer Resource
Kboards

I'm going to assume, since my rankings have jumped here and there, that some of those ads turned into KU borrows - which later turned into 'sales' after being read.  Speaking of that, KU has accounted for approximately 127 books 'sold'. BTW, Accidental Death has been big with the KU crowd.  Yay.  I hope to see similar numbers down the road for Wish in One Hand and Dying Embers.

Again, thank you for all of your support.  I'm chugging right along and should have a fourth book out in November - good lord willin' and the creek don't rise.
