May Progress...

 Yeah...I've been a bit quiet here, for a li'l while...


Book sales have been nonexistent.  Had a dear comrade buy a physical copy of one of my older books, but nothing new for "Knuckle Up" (Kindle Direct Publishing, 2021).  No downloads OR physical purchases for it, though.  :-(


I'm doing much better, physically.  I'm off the crutches, and I'm walking with the knee brace.  I've been doing physical therapy for a month now, and I'm walking much better.  The surgeon and my physical therapists are very impressed with my progress.  I'm glad to be walking again.  I just wanna be able to run, and then eventually DANCE like Ne-Yo, or at least, one of his background dancers, lol, lol, lol.  ;-)


My old job is hiring me back.  I'm kinda glad about that.  I absolutely HATE sitting at home, doing nothing!  I don't understand how people can actually live like that...just sitting there, waiting on a paycheck from the government.  I'm kinda gonna miss my freedom to work on my literary projects, and work on promotional ideas...but, I need to earn a paycheck.  Book sales ain't sustaining me, so I need to work.  I'm looking forward to seeing some of my coworkers, again.  Not many of us are being brought back.  It's all going slowly, but surly.  


I've started an account with Vimeo!!!  I will be uploading episodes of "The Rough Draft" on there, as well as some of my Author Book Trailers.  You can go to vimeo.com/AuthorKevinSabio to check out all of my videos  (I only have one posted, for right now).  Check out my videos posted there!!  :-)


Other than that, just working on Book III of "The Chronicles of The Black Fist".  I'm about 75% - 85% done with the first draft.  I'm hoping to finish the draft before the end of the year.  Hopefully, it will be my next book for 2022!!!  :-)


Other than that, there's not much else to report.  June is around the corner, as well as the Summer Solstice.  Hit you guys up then!!!


Keep the fist raised.

Entering the Month of May....

Today is the first day of the month of MAY!!!  We are almost halfway through the year, already!!  :-O

 

My literary progress is as follows:

 

April sucked for me.  I didn't make ANY sales.  I sold only one book (a download), and that was only because I posted about it on social media, griping about not getting some feedback on my latest work.  Speaking of which, "Knuckle Up" (Kindle Direct Publishing, 2021) is now entering it's fourth month of publication.  It is STILL available for purchase through paperback format, or in eBook format through Kindle, Nook, Kobo/Kobo+, iTunes, Scribd, and internationally through Tolino, and Vivlio.  It is also available through libraries in eBook format through outlets such as OverDrive, Hoopla, Baker & Taylor, and Bibliotheca.

 

Also in the month of May....  my novel "Seductra, Web of Desire" (CreateSpace, 2017) will be celebrating its four-year-publishing anniversary!!  

 


 

 

Dasha Pagan, a trained dancer from Brooklyn, struggles to make ends meet after relocating to the south for greener pastures, and has to make do by working as an exotic dancer.  I believe that this particular novel is pretty slept on (like much of my literary works).  It's considered Street Lit, with a Romantic feel to it.  You can be a hard rock, and still be able to enjoy the story.  The novel is available in paperback format, as well as eBook format.  Support it.  BUY it!!!  Write a review for it!

I'm getting better.  The doctor has cleared me to walk around without crutches.  I still have to wear the immobilizer, though.  I've recently started doing physical therapy.  I'm scheduled to do pt three times a week.  My first week is in the books, and I'm looking forward to going back.  I want to get back to feeling normal as soon as possible.  I still can't move as quickly, or as normally for that matter, as I would like to, but at least I'm a bit more mobile, now.  At least that's something....

 

Still working on my w.i.p. manuscripts.  I'm mainly concentrating on writing Book III of The Black Fist series.  It's actually going pretty good.  I still have several chapters to go before the first draft is complete, but at least I'm making progress.  I've put Walk Like a Warrior on the shelf, for now.  I was making decent progress on it, then drew a blank.  I guess I'm getting writer's block for that particular project, while I'm more inspired to write The Chronicles of The Black Fist.  such is the life of a writer, lol, lol, lol, lol, lol...

 

That's all for now.  Will keep you guys updated on my literary progress, as well as my health.  Until the next blog post....
