Summer is a time when book sales typically slow down, at least for anything that’s not a beach read. To combat slow sales,\u00a0many authors have found that it helps to schedule\u00a0more book releases.<\/p>\n

I’m definitely seeing the summer slump in my own sales numbers, but I also happen to have a bunch of\u00a0unpublished short stories lying around, as well as a published one where the publishing rights revert\u00a0in September. In fact, I’ve got enough short stories that I can\u00a0publish one every three weeks from now to the end of summer.<\/p>\n

So that’s what I’m going to do. And in order to have enough content for next summer, I’m going to spend the next couple of weeks after finishing\u00a0Gunslinger to the Stars<\/strong> to write seven or eight\u00a0new stories. I set a goal a few months ago to write a couple of short stories every month, but I’ve found that it’s very difficult to do that when I have a long-form WIP. Taking a break to pound out a few short stories seems like a much better way to\u00a0write them.<\/p>\n

Here is the release schedule:<\/p>\n
