Skinning Out
Hi Phil
Just bought your book from Amazon (Canada) for $7.35 and started to read it. Will be able to get some time with it as a major snowstorm is forecast and traffic is advised to stay home. Hope the sales are good though I don't suppose the royalties will make you rich. |

Sorry to hear about the brewing storm and hope you keep safe. Great opportunity to hunker down with a book!! Can you please let me know what you thought of the book when finished. Good or bad comments accepted positively. I've had good feedback from ex-seamen, but some non-seafaring folk have found it a bit of a challenge, including my sisters. Enjoy the read. Regards Phil |

One year ago today since my book was first published on Amazon.
Time has flown by. |

I've just read on Google that the AVERAGE sale for self-published books is just 125 copies.
My book has done far better than that but still not covered my publishing costs by a fair margin. I'm astounded that the average is only 125 copies so there must be an awfully large number of self-published books that bomb. |

Hello, Phil. The figures for my first book of sea memoir, 'The Best of Days', are 2184 copies since 2010. Two later titles: 'You'll See Wonders" and "When Are You Going Back" bring the total up to 4231 copies. They seem to go out from Amazon at the rate of 2 or 3 per day.
Not as brisk as J K Rowling, but in view of our much smaller readership, maybe decent enough. I enjoy it, so I'm writing another . . .

Hi Harry, that's good going with your book sales. I am just over 1000 sales in 16 months but as you say it's a limited market and getting smaller all the time.

Always leave a space on the mantlepiece for the Booker Prize.
