Or, it didn't then. I wonder if the author of the article got so many emails from successful indie authors it crashed her email. lol<br /><br />As for me- I only have the one book out. It's called Forged in Fire http://www.amazon.com/Forged-Fire-The-Series-ebook/dp/B005LPUCB6<br /><br />I self-published it back in Sept of 2011, but it didn't take off until mid-October. To date its sold around 30K copies and attracted the attention of Montlake Publishing, who acquired the entire series. So Montlake will be republishing the first book (Forged in Fire) in July and then another book in the series every Dec and July.<br /><br />I am still planning on self-publishing other books as well. I'm revising one right now to self-publish sometime within the next few months. And I've got a light-hearted paranormal mystery series and a dark paranormal series in mind that I'll only self-publishing.<br /><br />Anyway- you can find more information here. www.trishmccallan.com<br /><br />And thanks for asking!Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03232378093017812896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856958060096603245.post-62509469456157348602012-04-08T13:32:12.905-03:002012-04-08T13:32:12.905-03:00Very interesting indeed!

I imagine it will help authors decide which route to take given royalties and all that jazz. Does my heart good! I'm not an author but i hope to be someday. <br /><br />Trish, since you're here, why don't you tell us about your books? or give us a link to your website so readers can go check it out.SmittenWithBadBoyHeroeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665233383491356625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856958060096603245.post-45354518187250626202012-04-08T13:25:55.659-03:002012-04-08T13:25:55.659-03:00In My Opinion,
That article was vastly under repo...In My Opinion,<br /><br />That article was vastly under reported too, which makes it even more interesting. My guess is there are at least double, possibly triple the number of authors making those figures. For example in my case, I sold over 6 thousand books last month (on just one book), yet I didn't make it onto the "authors to watch" part of the list. I have a friend who sold over 15K books in March. But didn't make it onto the list at all. Plus, there is Carrie Anne Ryan who is selling alot more than 15K books a month and she didn't make it on the list either. <br /><br />I'm not sure how they came up with the names, maybe the authors emailed their numbers in? If this is the case there were alot of authors who didn't know about this survey. If they do it again, I bet they have alot more names.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03232378093017812896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856958060096603245.post-32396207421002314632012-04-08T12:21:45.443-03:002012-04-08T12:21:45.443-03:00VIVA LA INDIE!!!VIVA LA INDIE!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113033902410883148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856958060096603245.post-30960558738176677842012-04-08T12:20:42.098-03:002012-04-08T12:20:42.098-03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113033902410883148noreply@blogger.com
