I communicate online with a few African American authors. Most of the complaints were about the inability to connect with readers. I had no real complaints because "Two Kinds of Color" has sold over 200 kindles, and a few paperbacks. I haven't gone a month, since the book's been published, without selling something. I know it isn't much, but the sales have been a confidence booster for me.
Thinking there was some great secret regarding how to connect with readers, I decided to ask a simple question. I didn't think it would get any real response. Because of your comments, advice, I know of three writers who are editing their work.
Where I'm concerned, at this point I don't care about sales. I care about being the best I can be. I'll take all the constructive advice I can get. Thanks for taking the question to a higher level!
Always best regards,
Deborah Kennedy
