So there's that...

I'm now about halfway through Tuskers III. 

Until I made the decision to split it in three parts, I was 2/3rds of the way.  Fortunately, I'm about halfway through Tuskers IV as well.  Nothing but an plot outline for Tuskers V.

I'm liking it.  I get absorbed by the characters sometimes and forget that the horror readers want action, so that's something I'm trying to be conscious of.  But story is everything, and I think I've kind of figured out how to do that in a certain way, and hopefully I can keep learning.

This looks like it will be my best month for sales, which is encouraging since I'm now more than a year since the release of Led to the Slaughter.  I'm not getting rich -- hell, I'm not even breaking even -- but, well, I can see how it might be possible to earn a little pocket cash in the future.

Interesting in that I've done absolutely nothing in promotion lately.  I've barely mentioned my books on Facebook, except for this daily blog.  There was a big drop off in my early books late last year, but then they went back to previous levels and have stayed there since. 

I do believe it is probably important to have a new release every four to six months.  I've got 3 books in the top 3.8% in sales of all horror novels, which sounds good until you realize there are 64,000 books on the list...heh.  But it beats the alternative.

Reviews have so far been stellar, and that makes me feel like I'm doing something right.  Led to the Slaughter is in the top 3/10th of 1% in Average Customer Reviews.  Probably just an accident of fate, but cool to see anyway.

I'm feeling busy and engaged and liking it.  So there's that...
