It’s been a month and a half since I published Prosperity, and so far things are going pretty well. So far I’ve met 10% of my goal to sell 50 copies by the end of this year. Most of the feedback I’ve received up to this point has been biased (but encouraging, nonetheless). This is what my editor had to say after he finished reading and marking up my manuscript:
It is an excellent story, very well written, a strong storyline, and characters that not only start with a strong impact, but also develop well. I would have liked to have seen more physical descriptions of the characters, but that’s a small issue, and one that doesn’t negatively impact the story. The idea is good, and you maintain a good pace throughout, which makes the book a very good read.
That’s my first unbiased review. I have another review scheduled for March 15 by paranormal author Pamela Kinney. I’m in the process of looking for other reviewers. Yes, I should have done this well beforehand. Live and learn.
The virtual book tour is still going well. I’m meeting new people and had a blast with my latest interview with Henri, the Ghostest with the Mostest.
Last weekend, I contacted Lulu to see when I can expect to find Prosperity listed on Amazon. They told me that it would take 6 to 8 weeks. Somewhere on that site, I had read 2 to 4. Because I inadvertently left out the ISBN number off the copyright page, the book didn’t get published until January 15. That means that I won’t see it listed until March 15, at the latest.
