My book is released......now what?

I released my first book a month ago and my sales are a staggering one copy. Yes, you read that correctly. ONE. While this is slightly disappointing, I am not discouraged. I have moved on to writing the sequel and two other projects. I am a writer at heart and I will continue to write. It is difficult not to be a little disappointed at the lack of sales, however, this is a marathon not a sprint.

The days of having a big book release are long gone. The only person that really cares when your book is released is yourself. That is a realization that I have come to accept and it has made it easier.

My plan is to update my blog, update the book, possible change the cover, push to find different ways to reach readers, and to write more. I hope that I am able to reach some readers. I will be considering different ways to do this, so if anyone has ideas please let me know. The next thing on the list is to put the book up for free as a promotion. That should drive some readers at least, even if I do not make money.
