Jude,
Because I'm one of those hybrid self-published authors, I don't have the luxury of seeing a Kindle report. I wait for my monthly royalty report which is actually based on sales 60 days ago! I know better moving forward to go totally rogue.
Everything you mentioned is spot on! I've had similar experiences at my scantly attended author events at libraries, though I actually sold three books at one, and one at another.
Each day I struggle over whether to drop off the grid or persevere. Because my book has received a Readers' Favorite 5-Star Seal and was an ATAI Fiction Finalist, and has received other nominations--I stay in the game. So many of us Indies have overlooked 4-leaf clovers. I suppose we must keep "hustling" due to the belief in ourselves. May the force be with you!
