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!
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.
