I have been watching and reading and learning on this forum for a while now and after all this time decided (with lots of encouragement from my good friend who you will meet very soon) I have enough courage to start this progress thread. My courage and motivation comes from people like COSenior, ChickenHawk Held For Ransom and others.
I apologize in advance if the first few posts here sounds like the plot of a mystery novel. Maybe that is because the books I am working on are all in that Mystery Suspense Thriller Conspiracy genre.
Before I start unveiling the secrets a bit about myself - for those who don't become bored easily.
English is not my first language and that is why I have been working with ghostwriters for all of my non-fiction books.
I live in Australia and have been self publishing non-fiction books for about 2 years now and have about 15 titles on Amazon. It brings a fairly steady and reliable income every month but obviously not enough to retire as yet. Based on my current income from those 15 titles I will need to have 150 titles on there to take up full-time writing. I am still working on and publishing new non fiction titles but at a bit slower pace than before.
So about 6 months ago I have decided to expand my horizons a bit into the fiction market. But with my English only being good enough for my own use I had to team up with a professional. That is where I decided to team up with .... yes hold your breath .... none other than ... the respected and beloved ... COSenior! We have been working on a range of books in Mystery Suspense Thriller Conspiracy genre. We have just published the first title, the second one is currently being edited and number 3 is being written as of yesterday.
The first book is a full length novel and was published on the 11th April. The title is The Tenth Cycle and it is available on Amazon kindle and books. Obviously any reviews will be very,very welcome. The book has been doing reasonably well the first few days. Got about 21 sales so far 5 reviews and that stellar 5star review form a top 500 Reviewer. The ranking went to around 17,500 on day 2 after publication which landed the book in the top 100 bestsellers in its sub category. But it has now dropped out of that now. The ranking is currently floating between the low and late 30k now. However it is sitting at # 11 in Hot New Releases for its Sub Category.
So now that I have embarrassed COSenior enough with this revelation I will give the microphone to my co-conspirator (COSenior) to tell you more about how we are working together and what we are planning for the future.
So here we go.
