Backlist boost!
I frequently say that the easiest way to boost sales of older books is to release a new book in the series.
Fortunately, I now have a convenient way to prove that.
CLOAK OF IRON is the 17th book with Nadia as a main character. Before CLOAK OF IRON, the last Nadia book came out in July, so that makes for a good span of time for the older CLOAK books to return to sort of a normalized baseline.
So when CLOAK OF IRON came out, the older CLOAK books (not including CLOAK OF IRON) sold 48% more copies in February than in January.
Thanks everyone! A new book in the series definitely helps sales of the older books.

I think that means we need more Cloak Mage books. 😀
Good thing I’m working on them, then! 🙂
