2020 was a difficult year in many ways. Besides the
pandemic, we had to deal with several family health problems, and make an
emergency conversion to on-line teaching at the university. In spite of these
stresses, I was able to publish two new novels and a box set, write most of a
third, and set up a pre-order of another novel.

Strategic Goals for 2021
1) I’m planning to
write longer series to gain more return from promoting the first book.
Grand Masters’ Galaxy, my longest series has a
prequel, six full-length novels, and two boxsets.
Taxyon
Space includes four novels, a short story, and a
boxset. The fifth book is available for preorder in 2021 and a sixth is
planned.
Secret
Supers
has three novels, a boxset plus a short story.
Atrapako on Eden comprises three novels
and a boxset.
2) Next year, I hope to
publish the first book in a new epic fantasy series. This will expand my
repertoire in the fantasy genre.
BookBub Featured Deals
The Grand Master’s Trilogy was accepted for a 99c International Featured Deal at the end of May. This boxset had about 600 sales and generated additional sales of books 4 and 5 and preorders for book 6.
In October, Europa was
accepted for a US and International Featured Deal at 99c. Europa became a US
and International Bestseller on Amazon for the first time. It had more than
2000 sales that month plus a high readthrough with sales of subsequent books in
the series and several preorders of the fifth book.
Other promotions of Free
books in the spring gave disappointing results.
