Sales analysis for 2011

Sales dropped off in the last quarter of the year.

My top seller was Long Term, (gay, contemporary, BDSM) with 552 copies.
Cherry Tart (het, steampunk) followed hard on its heels with 475.

Sold between 100 and 200 copies:
Master Bear, 197
Chain-male, 184
Thigh to Thigh 179
Glad Hands 174
Heart of a Forest, 127
Sky-Rat 115
Shell-shocked 111

Everything else sold less than 100 copies.

Worst Seller:
Pushing the Boundaries of Reality, 2 copies.

Lifetime best sellers, by copies:
Glad Hands 1240
Raising the Dead 1187
For Love of Etarin 1027
Cherry Tart 1024
Master Bear 740
Shell Shocked 676
Heart of a Forest, 667
Chain-Male 559
Long term 552

Wall of Shame <50 copies sold, ebook:
Pushing the Boundaries of Reality 14
Worth the woe 16
Swimming Through the Net 38

Cyberpunk...not selling so much. Lesbians not moving either. Interracial, kinky gay sex is the best bet. Although Cherry Tart is selling, it's selling because it's $1.99 instead of $9.99. I made about $50 on all those copies. Long Term made the most money this year, with Glad Hands right behind it.

I have a BA in English, with a minor in Creative writing.
I drive a semi. They pay is better than anything I can do in the Pink collar ghetto.

OTOH, my wordsmithing earned me about $3300 last year, or about 7 weeks take-home pay.
