1/31/23 --- The insanity is starting to ebb

 Well, it looks like my big 'peak' for Alpha's Rejection is starting to ebb a bit. 

Yesterday I reached full saturation on my Facebook ads for the book and it looks like things are starting to slow down a little bit. It's still really highly ranked in the amazon store, so that's awesome. Gotta love those organic sales! I've dialed back my ads a little bit and now I'm focusing more on bringing my fantasy books forward and keeping my backlist active. It's one thing to sell a lot of a single book, but I'm only going to make it to full-time author by selling all of my books all the time. I'm slowly working my way back through my blurbs and getting my ad copy updated. I think it'll make a big difference once it starts to sink in.

What a wild couple of weeks this has been! Sales are still high and flowing, which is great, so I fully expect to have a great February as well, especially since I'm doing everything I can to have even more books out by the end of it! If I can build on this momentum, I'm sure I can continue to rocket myself forward and grow a business I can be super proud of that supports me.

Cowmelot editing is finally done! Now I just have to write the end of the book. When I started reading back through, I thought it would be a lot more of a mess, but it's actually fairly consistent. I think I only found a couple of places where I blatantly contradicted myself, but those are all cleared up now. I fully intend to have this book finished in the next 10-15 days if I can. I want to make sure I have plenty of time before the release to get everything buttoned up, especially since it's such a big book for me.

And, of course, I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who made Alpha's Rejection such a success! You are amazing and I'm so glad to have you either on my newsletter or joining me via social media. This is only possible with your support, so thank you so much!
