I'll start with the two words of the day and they are SNOWED IN! Woke up this morning to get ready to go to work only to see the streets covered in snow and ice - not cool. Looks like it will be the same way tomorrow as well. Oh well.
Moving on..., I have seen a tremendous (for me, anyway) uptick in ebook sales of HUB Volume 1 and 2 for the Nook and Kindle and I am so happy about that. I can only hope that the trend continues and more people continue to take a chance on my work and grow to love it as much as I love to write it.
Speaking of sales, the other day I got an email from Amazon that my first royalty paymnet was going to be deposited in my account yesterday (and it was). My first thought was HOLY SHIT! I JUST GOT MY FIRST ROYALTY CHECK!!! I can't describe that feeling. It made everything "real" to me, if that makes sense. I had just gotten paid for something that I had created and it felt SO GOOD! First thing I did was run and tell my wife, who immediately asked for half the check but that's neither here nor there. Granted, the check wasn't that big - just big enough to buy me a nice bottle of Moscato - but the fact that I had one at all was great. So, today I look through my emails and I come across one from Barnes & Noble and, what do you know, I have ANOTHER deposit getting ready to be made into my account from sales on the NOOK. Another HOLY SHIT! moment. Again, check isn't going to break the bank but it does lift my spirits and make me write that much harder.
Right now, at this very moment while writing this blog, I'm sitting at my desk in my "office" with my notebook and favorite pen working on the second draft of HUB Volume 3: The Tipping Point. Volume 3 continues on the momentum from Volume 2 and contiues to up the ante of the series. Can't wait until it's finished so I can unleash it on the world on 9.10.11! Trying to do some really big things with this volume, including a collectors edition which will include some artwork with it so stay tuned for that.
Will be placing my order to get 100 copies of HUB Volume 1 and 2 Collection to sell on my website and, more importantly, have available to sell at the Underground Horror Fest 2 on March 5th in Tulsa, OK. This festival is going to be a MAJOR jumping off point for me and this series and I know that it's going to be great! Be on the lookout for links to purchase the paperback version of HUB Volume 1 and 2 on www.whatishub.net in the near future. While I'm thinking about it, big shoutout and thank you to Chris Leepow for designing the cover and getting the book printed up for me.
That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by and I will have more later! Go Packers!
