The Extinction Cycle did even better than Orbs, selling 350k copies in ebook and audio between 20. While those books were coming out the traditional route, I wrote the Extinction Cycle and decided to return to self publishing. He in turn got me an audio deal with Audible and a publishing contract with Simon and Schuster for three Orbs books and two short stories. Long story short, I landed a fantastic agent. I started hearing from agents and traditional publishers interested in picking up the rights. Quickly into the launch, Orbs 1 became a #1 bestseller on Amazon in multiple categories, selling 30k copies in a few months. It didn’t do all that great and I got serious about marketing for my next book that ended up being the Orbs series. I started writing for fun and self published a book in 2013. Here’s a very condensed version of my story… You’ve written for Hachette, so did there come a point that started you down the indie path? Tell us about how you got started in book writing.
