Granted, most of my sales were for $0.99 books. Much has been said about this lowly price point, so I won't rehash. What I've learned so far:
- A Feast of Flesh sold 14 copies (burning up the charts, baby), at $0.99 while These Darkened Streets sold 6 at $1.99
- at that rate, A Feast of Flesh earned $0.70 more; I've lowered These Darkened Streets to $0.99 in September to see what happens
- I write in a genre which doesn't sell as well as Thrillers, Mysteries, Romance, and Erotica
- Most of my books are story collections, which, in general, don't sell all that well, either
- but seven different ebooks sold in double figures
- I'm still happy with every dime I make selling ebooks
- experiment with price a bit more: raise The House Eaters to $2.99 and see what happens by the end of the month
- release a novella for $0.99
- repackage Black Medicine Thunder as Sons of Chaos Book 1 (since book 2, The Desert Dead, is coming to Red Penny Papers in October--squee!)
- prepare for October, which I hope can be a good month (um, Halloween)
Thanks for reading.
*I'm not sure how many copies of We are the Monsters were "paid" until I receive my monthly report; my estimate is low

And the most exciting part is - people are buying your books! Your stories are getting out there in the world :)
That's great! Those are pretty healthy numbers considering how many books are available out there.
Very true, Danielle - I'm pretty excited.
Thanks, K.C. There are a staggering number of books in the world.
227 books!!! Very, very nice.
HUGE! Awesome, awesome sales! And while pricing no doubt plays a part in all these things -- well, I know return business will bring even more. No doubt it's already begun to after -- what? A year on the Kindle thing? Less, surely.
Hell yeah.
