Beacon (Now Part 1) has been out since December. It's done well. I'm serializing it. The second part is coming out in about a week. The tale, originally intended as a one-shot, had a free run in late December that pushed it to #2 in free science fiction.
More to the point, it's selling. So is Revenant Man. They're not moving tons of books, yet, but I'm steadily moving a few every week. I'm picking up reviews -- here and on Goodreads. A few were submitted. Most weren't.
I'm generating also-boughts for other authors. I've got an also-bought list on my books' Amazon pages. But I think it's not reciprocal yet, or at least I can't find any evidence that it's reciprocal. That makes me want to gnaw my own arm off and chase people around, beating them with it.
Yes, I know I'm overthinking this comparatively minor detail, and I know I should be focused on the long-term outlook, and pay more attention to the other vendors (I'm also on Pubit, and Kobo, and soon to be iBooks), but...Amazon is the king. And they are taking their time at givin' me sweet lovin'. If I'm selling books, and other authors are getting linked from my books, then...man, shouldn't I get linked from their books?
Many of you would rightly call me out on whining. That's fine. But one has to vent every now and then, or they go nuts and start counting ceiling tiles. Bear with me.
I'm just frustrated.
Ignore me, and carry on. Or, you can always throw tomatoes. Just wipe off the stocks, first, because that last guy was a drunk, and a drooler, and I don't want to be chin-in on his slobber.
