May Roundup

I am content with how well my stories have performed this month. Although sales haven't been as fruitful as in April, I have sold at least one copy of each of my books. I haven’t committed enough of my time to advertise my work recently, and I need to get much better at this.

RED 

Red leads the pack for sales this month, and I imagine readers are checking this story out after enjoying Obsession, my most popular book in April. For those yet to read Red, please be aware that recent feedback has described this as a bleak and depressing horror tale. This was always my intent for Red; I wanted it to offer something different from my other work. Red is still my best story (in my humble opinion), although it will not be to everyone's taste, and I hope to gain more feedback in June.

 SEE YOU LATER

 Sales for my supernatural horror novella See You Later have been extremely promising recently, making it my second most popular book of May! Feedback has always been steady for this story, with many readers describing it as ‘haunting’ and others commending the quality of the writing. This is a very different story from my usual work, and I have more tales like this planned for the future.

PACT

 Pact continues to attract regular sales, and this month is no different. Many people who have enjoyed Obsession tend to try out Pact next, which I absolutely encourage. Both stories are Psychological Horror but go in very different directions. I wanted Pact to read more like a ghost story than a Psychological Horror, and I am pleased with the praise this story continues to receive.

 OBSESSION

Last month’s best seller fell short in May, but my debut story has served me well! This novelette has proudly outsold all my books (combined) and continues to find new readers.  I wanted this story to hit ten ratings on Goodreads before placing it on another platform. Obsession now has 17 ratings, so I have decided to try it out on ‘Godless’ in the hope that it can reach a wider audience. Obsession was released in April 2022 and didn’t get its first review until August, so for any new authors waiting on that first RV, my advice is to be patient. I was honoured to have an earlier draft of this story read by the legendary Dr Creepen on his brilliant YouTube channel, and so far, Obsession has had almost 20,000 views but not as many sales...yet.

OUR CONNECTED MADNESS

Our Connected Madness contains Obsession and Pact but has only had one sale this month. I never give this book the attention it deserves; therefore, this will be my ‘Book of the Month’ for June, and I will launch some promos for it shortly.

Thank you for reading, and if you have any questions, please feel free to message me.
