So in the back of my books, I always try to shout out to a few forums that have been immensely helpful to me getting started actually selling books.
I owe them a LOT.
And as I was spreading the news on them that Trample the Weak is $0.99/EBOOK for this week…. (hinthint)
I wanted to do a quick math problem.
When I finished my first book, I posted the exact same new thread in each of their General Forums. That was on October 2nd, 2020.
Which is such a long time ago.
(My very first book, West of Prehistoric, came out on Sept 18th, 2020.)
Here’s the thread, which was posted here as well.
Fast forward a few years to Feb 2026… And these are the stats on those forums/thread.
NC4x4.com – 288 Replies, 34,000ish views.
CarolinaFirearmsForum.com – 345 replies, 13,000ish views.
FalFiles.com – 121 replies, 9,000ish views.
Total of: 754 replies and 56,000ish views.
That’s just nuts. Granted, a lot of those replies were me giving updates on my writing journey and release information. But still, that’s a LOT of participation.
And I certainly wouldn’t be doing as well as I am now without them.
Many thanks amigos!
