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.

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.

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.

The Sorceress and her LoversIt’s been three years since the Kingdom of Greater Brechalon, with the help of Zurfina the Magnificent, defeated their hereditary enemies, the Freedonians. The world has changed. Port Dechantagne, once a distant outpost of civilization, has grown to be a large city, the center of prosperous Birmisia Colony. Steam-powered carriages share the streets with triceratops-pulled trolleys, fine ladies in their most fashionable bustle dresses lead their lizardmen servants through the shopping districts, and an endless stream of immigrants pours into the region.The young ladies of the colony are busy with fashion, coming out parties, and securing partners among the smaller male population. Eleven-year-old Iolana Staff, daughter of the colonial governor, has more important things on her mind—the mysterious machine known as the Result Mechanism, and her relationship to the machine’s creator.Meanwhile, sorceress Senta Bly returns from the continent with a new male companion, an illegitimate daughter, and a long lost brother. Hated and feared for her magic, she must face wizards, assassins, and an old enemy from another reality.The Sorceress and her Lovers continues the story of Senta and the Steel Dragon, taking up where The Two Dragons left off. It is a story of magic and power, fear and revenge, and love.
