Hi all,
today's entry is not particularly happy, basically serves to announce that Justinian's dream has reached the end of the course.
In recent days the book has been disappearing gradually from the best jobs in bookstores and department stores, keeping only a few tables (some English Court of Madrid, Alcampo and little else) and this change of location of news desk at the library, marked the turning point of sales of any novel.
few days ago commented in an email with a colleague from Argentina, also a writer of novels Byzantine, the importance of the position you place a novel. Doing calculations with the decline of Byzantium, the approximate values \u200b\u200bof the first year sales were 95% of books sold in the first 2-3 months (while on the tables) and the remaining 5% is what you are selling a Once you pass the shelf (book of songs, so buy only what you explicitly go for it)
This fateful statistics show me that not only enough to publish, but if you want to put a pike in Flanders letters, you must do so with a prestigious publishing house you secure a seat in the leading bookstores and supermarkets, because beyond that the world is very, very small.
In any case I have reason to complain. After all, this moment had to come, and I can not ignore the fact that I achieved a second edition and a good increase in sales compared to my first novel, but I can not deny that I would have liked to see one or two editions.
Now is the jump across the Atlantic, so hopefully follow Justinian's dream of making war for some time. Greetings
