Anyone who listened to my Facebook Live ‘in conversation’ last night will have heard the amazing news from my editor, Nia, that I’d just had confirmed earlier in the day.
The figures were in for December’s sales and my books have surpassed 250,000 units sold. That’s quarter of a million! I know you can work that out for yourself but I kind of need to write it down for myself as I can’t quite believe it! Eek!
This is a figure I never dreamed was possible in my days as a struggling indie author when an amazing week would be shifting more than ten copies.
Units mean a sale in any format – eBook purchase, paperback sale, audio, borrow etc. – once released by Boldwood Books so doesn’t include any sales under previous indie titles and, as it is up until the end of December 2020, doesn’t include my latest release – New Arrivals at Hedgehog Hollow.
The figure does include ‘sales’ when books were on free promotions which both Making Wishes at Bay View and Christmas at Carly’s Cupcakes were at some point last year. But even so!
Thank you so very, very much to anyone who has discovered my stories and helped make this happen. I could not be more thrilled.
Wishing you a lovely weekend.
Big hugs

I am so very proud and still a bit in shock. I don’t know the exact number – keep meaning to check – but, in the entire 5 years before that, I probably only sold about 1% of that volume. Thank you for your kind words. Hope you have an amazing 2021 x
