Sales
By Nancy Lindquist | July 24, 2007
I’m always curious about the sales of my books. More than royalty checks, which are nice, but honestly I write to make readers happy, I wait for that magical day each month when I get an e-mail that shares my sales figures. The day is coming, soon, when I learn if, “I Shagged the Sheriff” sold well. I’m on pins and needles. Of course, I cannot share the sales figures with anyone, so I won’t, but it does make me all curious and excited. Sort of like Christmas, to see a book headed off into someone’s hands. I love that feeling!
I’m not a total ultruist. I do have four kids and bills to pay, so I can’t sniff at the money. I have a new roof to put on the house, too. Okay, my royalties may not buy a new roof, but they will pay for part of it. I love being able to contribute something to the family budget. Sometimes, it’s luxury items. A movie that we were waiting to see and a nice meal out for the older two. I love being able to do that. Not all stay at home moms can work too. I feel grateful to live the best of both worlds.

That’s so cool you’re already making money from your books! Congrats - give yourself a pat on the back for me. I’m still in the red but I’m hoping my print sales will be better.
