A tale of two mornings

I have shared with my regular readers before that my morning routine involves checking my Amazon sales page. For the month of April, that was always a happy thing, and April included several days with the nice surprise of sales. May 1 has brought me back to zero.

See below for April numbers:

April 2024 was my best month in a while, and that is to be expected, as I published a new book. You can see from those numbers, this writing business is not making me rich, but I am not going to stop because I need to write, and I really believe my books are putting light and hope into the world.

But I will be honest - mornings like this one - where all those zeros greet me, are hard.

This blog is an effort to reach more readers - I put an ad in the bulletin at church. I have an Amazon ad running with no discernable results. I will try a Facebook ad at some point. I will keep trying to reach readers.

As for you, if you are reading this, can you try one of my books if you haven't yet? Thank you from the bottom of my heart to my devoted readers - you all are seriously the wind beneath my wings.

I will keep plugging away. And maybe one day when you read this blog you will see sales numbers that make you say "WOW!".
