No. If you’re just setting out I hope some of these will help you raise those sale numbers. I have learned a few tips along the way that may be of use to newer indie authors. I’ve also given away thousands of books, but I’ll come to that in a minute. But every single one of those 7000 copies were paid downloads.

Most of the books I’ve sold were at the 99 cent price mark. So maybe there are indie authors out there who might actually want to know how a nobody like me managed to sell over 7000.įirstly I should point out that’s selling 7000 Kindle books will not make you rich.

After the evening ends in a battle of words, Deirdre’s body is found the next day in the back of the store-with pages torn from Nessa’s books stuffed in her mouth. One author, Deirdre Walsh, spends more time complaining about the unfairness of the publishing industry and megastar bestselling authors like Nessa Lamb instead of her own body of work. But an author event at the new bookstore featuring Irish writers taking up residency in Kilbane offers a welcome distraction. Between training the new town garda and trying to set a wedding date with her fiancé, Macdara Flannery, Siobhán is feeling a bit overwhelmed. When a new bookstore in the County Cork Irish village of Kilbane closes the book on an author’s life, it’s up to Garda Siobhán O'Sullivan to resolve the story.
