It is an awfully good day today – and I am a happy man!
It’s warm and sunny and I am going to be signing my books this afternoon at the Mic Mac Mall in Dartmouth from noon to 2pm.
But that’s not why I am happy.
I barbecued yesterday and had a cold Dr. Pepper and met a couple of nephews whom I hadn’t talked to since they were knee-high to a knee.
But that’s not why I am happy.
My cat Kismet thinks that all of my books are really cool and NOBODY in the world can open up a can of cat food like I can.
But THAT’S not why I am happy!
I am happy because as of this morning I have sold 999 e-books as a Kobo writer and sometime today I hope to pass the 1000 e-books sold today.
That is a milestone in the career of an e-book author. Some people pass that milestone in their first month of e-publishing. Others take a little longer. It took me about two years. I released my first indie-published e-book about two years ago – publishing SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME in Kobo format back in 2012.
Hey, some folks drive faster than other folks do.
I am that old fart you see tootling down the side of the road on a battered green golf cart, both hands gripped squarely on the wheel at 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock, leaning forward and squinting through a pair of of fogged-up bifocals, slowing down to let a grandmother in a motorized wheelchair pass him.
The book that has been selling the fastest this month is my monstrously huge full-length scarecrow novel, THE TATTERDEMON OMNIBUS.
As a result of this sale Tatterdemon is now #11 on the Kobo Bestselling horror list!
That’s not too shabby at all.
🙂 🙂 🙂
Like I said, there are lots of folks out there who are selling more books faster than I am – but one of the great secrets about being happy in life is to learn how to celebrate the small victories. Somebody bring you home a pizza on a cold rainy day – don’t sit there and wish it were t-bone steak.
Do your happy dance and clap your hands and yell “Pizza! Pizza! Pizza!”
You keep on reading – I’ll keep on writing.

Steve Vernon
