One of the neat things about self-publishing is the vast amount of information I’m now privy to that I never saw before.
Before I received a quarterly statement showing Kindle Unlimited pages read, E-Books sold, Paperbacks sold, and Audiobooks sold.
Now I’ve got daily information that changes by the hour.
Pretty neat stuff.
I’ve managed to work my way down from clicking the refresh button hourly to only a few times a day now to watch my sales and pages read. 🙂
And how are sales going? Pretty good. About what I expected for the start of a new series. And the reviews are rolling in nicely, I was at a satisfying 4.8/5 with 10 reviews until a 3 star kicked me in the review-groin down to a 4.5. But that will balance out as more come in.
So – certainly good enough to continue with the sequel. 🙂
Which, according to my fancy Atticus writing/formatting/etc program, (highly recommend!) I’m around 14% on completion.
I also got a few author copies of Trample the Weak in and decided to do a quick photo shoot as I cleaned some guns.
One of the cool things a bout being a gun guy, is writing about what you own. And then taking pictures with your Garand and the books it’s included in. 🙂
Because success should always be chronicled and bragged about.
In other news, you may recall that we got rabbits last year. That was… interesting.
Now, my daughter has moved into the realm of ‘RATS’… yes. The big rodents with big tails.
Apparently there is an entire not-so-underground society of people who breed and keep rats. And there are all kinds of the hairy creatures at all sorts of varying prices for fur and size variations.
And business seems to be booming. Probably because rats only live ~2 years. So you’re constantly getting new pets, but still… I digress…
Tomorrow we are picking up a giant cage and play set from someone who is getting out of the rat business. And this weekend, we are picking up a pair of rats.
Which… I have to share photos of.
I -think- the current name choices are Spot and Sunny… will likely change in the near future before being settled on.
So. Yay. Rats!
Enh, they are kinda cute. And these are supposed to be very docile and hand-able.
But yes, out with the rabbits in with the rats.
And now for some not so subtle advertising.

Thank you and enjoy your early summer!
