Closer to $1,500 including direct sales and my first book signing.

This may actually be going somewhere 😅

🔥 New illustration from the amazing Joe Requeza 🔥

I'm almost done editing the audiobook, so I figured we're all due a little treat.

Meet Seddram Peltan and the salamands.

I'll be including this as an internal illustration in book two.

🔥 We did it!! 🔥

400 copies sold of The Fall of Selvandrea!!

That was a nice treat to wake up to!

Thanks to everyone who's taken a chance on this story.

As Valdaris Drascar would say, may you face the dark with courage and throw your enemies to the sharks!

Absolutely - it's so encouraging.

🎉 Just hit 20 ratings on Amazon US!! 🎉

It's been a long time coming.

By far the most challenging part of author life is getting reviews and ratings.

And the wait is even longer if the book is a chonker like this one 😅

Thank you so much to everyone who's taken the time!

Haha thanks! Getting there 🍻
