Total Books sold for March, April, May and June = *18,770
*On July 9th I hit 20,000, but I am not including July sales here. I am selling about 150 books a day.
By the end of the year I am hoping that I'll be able to make some sort of judgment as far as what genre sells the best for me. Right now (looking at my July sales so far) it looks like romantic/thrillers are the way to go. But Return of the Rose seems to be rising in sales and is keeping up with Abducted, so who knows. Either way, I'll keep you posted.
I am working on my second romantic comedy and then I plan on finishing my third medieval time travel before Christmas, 2011. After that, I plan to finish my second romantic thriller which I can hardly wait to get back to!
Let me know if you have any questions.

Wow! Phenomenal sales and in such a short time, too. Congrats! You deserve it. Let's hope they keep sellin' like hotcakes! ;-) lol
Thanks, Shea. I love hotcakes, but whatever happens in the future with sales...I am grateful for every sale I have already made and for every reader who emailed to tell me he/she liked my book. That part still feels unreal to me. I am a writer. I write. And I LOVE every moment of it.
None of my published author friends ever told me how truly wonderful it is to hold your very own book in your hand (I have my first PROOF copy of Return of the Rose and I can't stop looking at it). And then to receive emails from readers who love your story...it just keeps getting better.
If you love writing, never give up!
Wow, Shea, this was supposed to be a short response to your fun comment, but once again I got carried away. ha!
