The third and final trilogy is going great guns and I'm happy with progress so far. I'm hoping that it will be out, after some re-writing and revision, sometime in December.
I did mention in an earlier post that I was reducing the price of the first book but unfortunately no one was willing to buy it and now a new thing has happened with the Kindle where the price can be reduced temporarily but the 70% royalty is given rather than the 35%. This means that rather than having just 25 pence in income per sale of my book I can now have 75 pence. Unfortunately for this to work, Kindle have insisted that I put my price up to where it was before.
Whilst writing books and stories gives me a great deal of pleasure I will be honest with you and will say that I want to make a living out of this and if a book doesn't sell then it would seem that I'd been writing merely for myself. I do want people to purchase my works for that will encourage me to write more and of course I can then afford to pay the bills which is something I'm struggling with at the moment.
The way I see it, if I have something like five thousand loyal readers (more would be nice) then I can see this being worthwhile :-)
It's not just zombies I've written about, I also have a short story collection up plus a children's book and once this third and final trilogy book is done I will be finishing this other book that I've started, that will probably take me up until March so at that point I will have six books out and I already have ideas for the one after that.
Please buy gentle readers, it will make me ever so happy this side of Christmas!
