Q – Do you consider yourself to be a successful author?

A – The answer to that question requires successful to be defined. I have succeeded in writing 5 novels. - over 2000 pages – and those who have read the stories seem to enjoy them – 6500 4* and 5* ratings on Goodreads and 45 reviews. Sadly all this positivity has been generated through free copies. I have to admit to being a complete failure when it comes to marketing and selling my books. Maybe if I was a famous name I would sell more books. I get the feeling that readers won’t risk their money on an independent self-published author. So successful or not? My stories on my bookshelves. No best sellers – Yet.
