My first book, Horror in the Woods, was released exactly one year ago today (at the time of writing). Not much of a milestone, granted, but for me, it is a pretty good feeling!
Given it is now a year old, I decided to have a look back at how my first book has performed, and am thrilled with the results. For an author fresh out of the gate, with no catalogue behind him, this violent little story about a family of cannibals in the woods who feast on poor passers-by, has done quite well. To give you some numbers:
- Sold 3000 ebook copies.
- Over 1 million pages read in Kindle Unlimited (1,150,000 +).
- Sold 145 paperback copies.
- Sold 199 Audiobooks.
In addition, it is currently sitting with 99 (mostly positive) reviews on Amazon.com.
If you haven’t already, you can pick it up on Amazon:
So, all in all, I’m pretty happy with how my first year has gone. My second book, The Demonic, has performed even better, and my third book, Tormented, is picking up steam as well. Now it’s full steam ahead to make year two even better! Thanks to everyone who has taken a chance on my writing and supported me this past year (not least of all my wife, Michelle), and I hope this is just the start.
Have a great weekend everyone, and hopefully, I will have book four with you all in the near future!
