January 1 marked my first year as a writer. My first title was published on January 1, 2012 (written during December 2011) and my last one in 2012 on December 31st. I didn't plan it that way, it just worked out to be a perfectly timed year. I was waiting for the 15th of this month to come so I could get my Amazon report and compile all my numbers and share, for anyone who's interested, looking for inspiration, or curious.
Most of my work is YA, but I do have one chick lit title and a few serial erotic romance shorts. Those titles make up the very smallest part of my sales and income. YA is my bread and butter.
