How have sales been? Where have you had the most success?
Sales have been pretty slow, but steadily growing. This is my debut novel so I am new at this. I quickly realized that lots of help is required. So the marketing effort has really only just begun. We hope, especially with the release of book 2, that readers will embrace the story, bask in the mystery and fun, and appreciate the uniqueness and creative writing style. How are readers/reviewers reacting to your book? The reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, which is great. Of course, there has been the occasional disclosure of personal dislike, but most of the dislike has been centered on one particular character in the book (I won’t say which one to avoid any bias). The funny thing is, that is exactly the desired response we were hoping for, so everything is working out perfectly for the series. Bottom line, the written essays have been awesome! What was the biggest challenge you faced writing this book and how did you overcome it? The biggest challenge has been marketing. As I said before, this is my first novel, so I am learning as I go. A friend told me that as long as I have a good product, the readers will find me. I released book 1 in June 2011 and did absolutely no marketing, assuming readers would somehow find me and my product. Maybe they will, but my impatience is leading me to put more effort into marketing. So, book 2 was released in March 2012 and the marketing is just now beginning. What are the future plans for you and this book? Good question, I guess the sky’s the limit. The end game for my series has always been to see them made into movies (on the big screen).
