A panel at Digital Book World agrees with me. If you're going to indie-publish, the best genres to be in are romance, young adult, and new adult. My novels are new adult. Excellent.
The apocalypse may come in 2013 just because people are superstitious enough to make it happen.
We indie-pubbed authors are like lemmings, always running after one another using the same marketing tactics as everyone else. Well I intend to find a different road.
I won the SFContario3 idol competition. Not only did the judges not gong my story, they asked for more. The audience applauded twice!
At World Fantasy Convention I learned that the publishing industry is in a state of flux and chaos and that even traditional publishing house editors are becoming excited about the possibilities of eBooks.
A company that sells prefab structures sent me this funny link about how to survive the zombie apocalypse from your pole barn. It's good for a laugh. http://www.cbstructuresinc.com/the-comprehensive-plan-for-surviving-the-zombie-apocalypse-from-your-pole-barn?site=beyondtheslushpile.com
A great promotional day result in Generation Apocalypse reaching 29 on the free best seller list in the Action/Adventure category and 51 in Horror. I can't wait to try another campaign and see if I can find more fans.
I learned a lot about marketing from Pearl Jam while I was in Missoula, Montana.
Sales of Generation Apocalypse have been going at a nice little clip. Record breaking? No. Making me smile? Yes.
