I woke up this morning to my first unknown sale!

I have five total, but two were family, one was D.A. Boulter slaying my BBoS and one was me gifting to a reviewer. I know one sale is peanuts but it's a wonderful feeling to know someone, somewhere actually saw the cover, read the blurb and bought it.

Just had to share. Now back to your regularly scheduled meaningful conversations.

It's a cool feeling, right? You think 'holy crap, someone I don't know saw my book and bought it!'

Congrats.

Congratulations. Its a great feeling when that happens. It makes you wonder who it was and where they are and why they picked it up. Wait until you get an international sale or two. Then you can tell everyone your an international selling author.
