Mirage Has Been Released - What It's Like

My debut erotic novel, Mirage was finally released last week after many snags in the road. How did it feel for a debut author like me?

Frankly it sucked! Oh don't get me wrong, I was personally excited. I posted, as I had over the months leading up to the release. But in reality when it happened - I could have published a bunch of grade school poems and no one would be the wiser.

Sales: It had been up for pre-order through Smashword for months. Zero sales from that. Since last week I have sold less than a dozen copies...and that's even after lowering the price to $0.99 to entice readers.  I am a newbie and thought people might take a chance on me at that price.

Needless to say my balloon has been popped and I am licking my wounds. Don't count me out. I'm not going anywhere.

Just thought I'd share how it went for me in week one...now lets move past that to week two!

  1. I still believe in you as a writer and know you pen great stories. I also know you're working on book two. Will it be part of this series? Readers do enjoy following sexy characters to see what they'll be up to next.
