I guess I hadn't thought about it but as I've been gaining traction on launching The Son of Man, I've also noted that sales of my first novel Silent Light, have begun to increase. Not massively but noticeably. At the launch of The Son of Man, I had one review on Amazon US for Silent Light (there were more but Amazon have removed them all for some reason). Reviews of Silent Light are now in double figures and I'm please to report they are also mainly 4 or 5 stars.

I'm trying to work out how to make a success of this and one lesson I've learned is that authors who are prolific and particularly those who write series are the ones that are killing it. One book sells another. In fact, in a series many authors only market the first book - on which they expect to make a loss - but the rest of the series then sells itself. I've got a long way to go before I'm in that place but it's a marathon not a sprint...
