This doesn’t include books for Kickstarters, Kindle Unlimited equivalent, or physical copies sold at conventions. This is straight up Amazon sales.
In terms of percentages, that number is a bit over 69% novels, and just under 84% novels/full anthologies. The rest are chapbooks, and that one short story I did. It’s all also just over four and a half year’s worth of steady effort, so while I obviously would love to be selling ten thousand copies a year nobody can say I didn’t work for this. You gotta just keep on plugging…
Lights in the Darkness has been a bit of an Amazon Adventure.
Lesson learned – always always always support the author directly.

There’s a story here.
Share.
For reasons known only to the Amazon Galactibrain, instead of charging my perfectly good credit card for the pre-order, they tried to charge a debit card that expired years ago…
… and then buried the order as “cancelled”.
Had to get their support to even find it, and then … just changed the payment method and now I’m enjoying a much better story than the above.

Congratulations and well done! Richard Bach said that a professional writer is an amateur writer who didn’t quit. I would say that makes you a professional.
I’m curious how many books I have sold. The publisher has never sent a statement or contacted me for any reason. I think it might be time to part ways with this publisher.
