Sales outside the US

Happy Veteran's day! Wanted to bring up sales that occur outside our target audience. Every once and a while we get surprised and feel the need to brag about it. One of the biggest goals, when this company started, was to bring our publications to a world wide audience. But to be realistic about the process we understood that we would have to become a very large indie publisher before those outside markets fell into our purview. Which is why we worked so hard to put our material on iTunes and Smashwords. These companies work towards world wide audiences. (As a side note, when we started this company we published only to Amazon. At the time Amazon strictly operated within the US borders. Now they to have expanded outside markets as well.) So in a round about way, our body of work in now available around the world.

The item I wanted to brag about was that we sell books in the UK, far more than I would have expected in fact. We publish only in the English language currently so our expectation to sell in France or Italy is rather slim. But again selling outside the US is big bragging right for us because... well, because it strokes the ego. That means that we must be doing something right.

Currently we only publish books written by Patrick Meservier, but that will change in the future. We are looking to branch out a little not to mention the contest. Oops! I may have prematurely let out the secret. Keep watching the website, link is at the top of the page, there will be a new page that is dedicated to just the contest we will run from time to time.
