So that was a year ago. I got an email, I think, letting me know about Kindle Direct. I had Word files of the novels and I had no expectation that they would sell at all. I mean at all. But I put them up there. Now you may ask if I didn't think they would sell, why did I post them up there?
I don't know. And then I forgot about them. I didn't check sales. I didn't look at them. To be honest I'm embarrassed about them now. They had formatting errors, the covers were abysmal. They were dreadful. Then towards November last year I got an email from KDP saying they would now pay me. I think it was just a few dollars, but when I checked back over the year, even these awfully formatted, appallingly presented, books - where the descriptions were a few lines I'd just knocked out in second and the covers were just an image without even a title - they had sold a few copies.
So, I started reading more about self publishing and by mid January I was obsessed.
