I wish I could see sales of a few hundred of any one book! I generally get high dozens, total, of the sum of my 14 books per year. This year, however, I'm expecting less than 50 total sales at this rate. I'm not sure if that says more about my writing, my marketing skills, my choice of genre, or all of the above, but there you go.

As for traditional channels... after my original effort, and what few letters I got back saying: "We're not looking for anything new, don't bother to send"... I admit I don't have much faith in the traditional channels, unless of course I go out and either marry a Kardashian or murder someone, and get into the news...
