Fun Videos – Your Second Video
Here you have another type of fun: fun history. You don’t believe there is such a thing? Take a look at these color photos from a hundred years ago and be amazed.
All the people in the photos are dead, yet they still seem alive and like people you can meet on the street.
What Is Your Third Fun Video?
Imagine life as a video game. Now imagine you’re playing it as any animal you wish. Which would you choose? If we narrow it down to playing a fish, which would you pick? This video looks at fish as characters in a video game. Who do you think is best? Give me an answer and I’ll give you a book, if you click here.

Cover Hints! Wait, what’s the book? Secret Supers in Space. It’s the third book in my Secret Supers series (try saying that ten times fast) that started with:
Jeremy Gentle fell flat on his face at therapy. That was normal since he had cerebral palsy. But his new superpower wasn’t normal.
Then things got weirder when his best friend, Dan Elanga, got a different superpower. But Dan was still blind.
Kayla Verdera and Aubrey Wilcosky, two girls in their middle-school special ed class, discovered they too had new superpowers. Kayla was mute and needed a walker. Aubrey lost two legs and used crutches. But they were as powerful as the boys.
What should the four friends do? Jeremy knew if the word got out, it’d be a media circus. Then they started fighting crime, as the Secret Supers. Who knew a disability could be a perfect disguise? No one would ever think of disabled kids as superheroes. Then they ran into problems they never expected.
Four disabled seventh-graders with superpowers take a vacation at Coaster World. They need a break from fighting criminals. Ever since the beginning of the school year when they acquired their unusual abilities, they’ve been training and using those powers to fight crime in their town.
Little do they know the arch-villain they recently defeated also loves coasters and is vacationing at Coaster World. Worse, the villain wants revenge. Nothing less than turning these teens to a life of crime will satisfy.
Can Jeremy, Dan, Kayla, and Aubrey withstand the villain’s attacks? Or will they become Super Villains?
You can only find out by reading the adventure ‘Villain’s Vacation’.
The audiobook proved to be so popular, I gave away over 100 review copies and used up my free audiobook codes. Don’t worry; you can still get it for free by joining Audible here.
I also began pushing all my other audiobooks. That led to many sales through the review codes I get from Audible. I get the codes for free and then Audible pays me when someone redeems them for free.
The green color means the monthly sales are above average for my six years of book sales.
What’s going on? Take a look at my audiobook sales:
That’s 337 more audiobooks sold than in 2019! That’s half of the 139% growth. Where did the rest come from? Let’s look at ebooks.
There are another 148 ebook sales, mostly from Zombie Turkeys. Also, the rest of the Life After Life Chronicles all increased from the previous year. Then there are the sales from my two new books.
My Zombie Turkey ebook was priced at .99 and the price reduction led to new sales during 2020. Also, I changed my Amazon ad campaigns to focus on categories, not keywords. That led to me online sales than ever before.
Explosive Book Sales – Two New Books Released during 2020
Oops! Tales of the Zombie Turkey ApocalypseVillain’s Vacation
I now had a short story collection. I gave away free short stories to promote it. The book also promoted the rest of my series.
Also, I now had two books in my Secret Supers series. The sales of one book led to the sales of the other.
Two books, each in two formats, plus the new audiobook, gave me five new items to sell.

That didn’t seem to be the source of new sales! How about print sales during 2020?
I only sold 15 more print books than 2019, probably since I only had three book conventions, compared with seven the year before
During 2021 Book Sales were up and down
I went back to book conventions. I ended up selling fewer books (731) but making more profit. I sold more of the profitable print books, but not as many ebooks.
I attribute this to the end of the lockdowns during 2021 and being able to attend more conventions. I also introduced my Square Site where I sell my autographed books, just like I do at conventions. Click here to get your autographed book now.
