Thanks Great Britain, and Everyone Else Too

There was a time a couple of years ago, when I was selling about twice as many books in the U.K. as I was in the U.S.  This might have been due to having fewer ebook outlets, or perhaps the British just have great taste.  I noticed this year though that I am selling many more books in the U.S.  Again, this could be because Americans are finding it easier to find me, or maybe the Brits are just getting tired of me.  This whole thing got me curious to see exactly where my books were selling, so I took a look.  These numbers are based on sales from July 1, 2014 to July 26, 2014, and while they take into account free books, they don’t include books distributed by “free book” sites like Manybooks, which doesn’t keep track of where the downloader is.

I sold books in 13 countries.  Obviously since my books are only available in English, those countries where English is the dominant language fall higher on the list.  Still there are English speakers everywhere.  My own cousin lives in Germany and might account for a sale or two.  Here’s how they figure– listed in order by sales.

62% United States, 21% United Kingdom, 9% Canada, 4% Australia, 2% Germany

The Following each account for less than 1%, but are still listed by number of sales, highest first.

France, New Zealand, Sweden, Republic of Ireland, Denmark, Netherlands, Czech Republic, China

So thanks to all of you around the world who purchased one or more of my books, and if you liked them, please leave positive feedback at your ebook store and maybe talk them up with your friends and colleagues.

The Many Adventures of Eaglethorpe Buxton – $2.99 at ‘txtr

Eaglethorpe Buxton MiniEaglethorpe Buxton, famed adventurer and story-teller, friend to those in need of a friend and guardian to those in need of a guardian. He is a liar and braggart, not to be trusted, especially around pies. Who are we to believe? Buxton himself leads us through The Many Adventures of Eaglethorpe Buxton. This volume includes the previously published Eaglethorpe Buxton and the Elven Princess in which our hero comes to the aid of… a poor orphan? An elven princess? And Eaglethorpe Buxton and the Sorceress. When the sorceress, subject of Eaglethorpe’s play arrives with fire in her eyes, the hapless story-teller must pretend to be his good friend Ellwood. Will he pull off this charade and survive? And what happens when the real Ellwood shows up? One can never tell, especially when Eaglethorpe tells the story. Plus thrill to three all new Eaglethorpe stories. In Eaglethorpe Buxton and the Queen of Aerithraine, our hero is back in his homeland, just in time to stop a mysterious murder, meet the Queen, solve the mystery of his best friend, and face off against a zombie apocalypse! In Eaglethorpe Buxton and the Amazons, our hero and his new friend Percival Thorndyke tramp through the horrible, stinking, insect-infested land of Ennedi in search of treasure. Eaglethorpe must deal with man-hating Amazons, jungle-dwelling goblins, vicious centaurs, the dreaded and feared frog-bear, and a companion who seems determined to get himself killed. In Eaglethorpe Buxton and the Day of the Night of the Werewolf, the famed story-teller is sent to hunt down an unusual werewolf and manages to run into practically everyone he has ever met along the way. The Many Adventures of Eaglethorpe Buxton is a farcical fantasy of heroic proportions, sure to elicit more giggles than gasps.

Preorder Astrid Maxxim and the Antarctic Expedition for Kindle

Astrid Maxxim and the Antarctic ExpeditionAstrid Maxxim and the Antarctic Expedition is available for preorder at Amazon.com for the Kindle reading device or your Kindle App for just 99 cents.  Search for it on your Kindle, or follow this link.

Teen inventor Astrid Maxxim is back in her third adventure as she makes a journey to the bottom of the planet to uncover the secrets of a mysterious lost expedition. Meanwhile, troubles plague her friends and family as a hostile takeover threatens Maxxim Industries. Join Astrid and her friends as she faces the frozen dangers of the Antarctic, wild animals, mad bombers, and corporate high finance.

A word about the version available on the Kindle.  It is slightly different from the version available everywhere else.  When I uploaded to Amazon, during the conversion process, about a dozen errors kept creeping in.  Words would get pushed together.  For instance “she put on her swimsuit” became “she put onher swimsuit”  I tried uploading them in different formats and tried adding an extra space between the words but to no avail.  So, I rewrote those sentences.  So in about a dozen places, I use different sentences.  The story is the same and the meaning of those paragraphs are the same.  But there you go.

I missed it!  August 12th was the 6th anniversary of City of Amathar Blog.  I’ve been posting daily for the past six years, and I think I missed 2 days in that time.  Well, I’m onto my seventh year.  It’s been a blast so far.
