Since June of 2009. I think I priced my ebooks at $7.99 or something ridiculous. Of course, back then, there was only the 35% royalty.

My books are newbies on Amazon, but I can't complain. As I love numbers and Crystal Shade is also filled with 11-11, plus the character's birthday is also on November 11/12 as she has two birthdays, it was published on 11-11-11, 11:11GMT (Paperback; 01-15-12. It was my 31st birthday present.  ). Pale Moonlight was published on 11-30-11. |

I went through Lulu for my first publication In Times of Violence. It came out on Amazon in 2006. I now have four other titles.

I've been self publishing since the 1st of December. I launched the first volume of City of Hell Chronicles anthologies, and have just uploaded a new fantasy short 'Vex.' I've got two more anthologies in the works and a novella to go up before summer.
My sales have been very modest, but it's still a thrill anytime I see a sale, and I see it as building a retirement pot. The more products out there, hopefully the more yield.
Either way, it's only been a few months for me and I'm already seeing the benefit of being in control of the whole process.

I uploaded my first Kindle book on March 28, 2008. After nearly four years (and adding 3 more to the series), Unbroken Hearts is still my best selling book.

My first self-pubbed title was Breath of Life, which went up on June 11, 2011. It's been an amazing learning experience.

I published my first book, Winterborne, on April 26, 2011 and am about to add a fourth title (hopefully) by the end of this week. I am still learning as I go!

Early October 2011, then last week for #2. So far, smooth sailing (well, except for the sales part).

I've been on since the second half of Nov. 2011. Not many sales in Nov. and Dec. (I had my $2.99 books up for $0.99 during those two months, and my short "Ghosts" for free. Then, about mid Jan. 2012, my book prices went to where I want them, and I started getting pretty good sales. I'm looking forward to a good (for the small amount of time I've been in this) Feb.
This has been fun, and I'm beginning to see the potential.

All these babies...  This pen name has been publishing since April 2011. I have an old pen name that published a book in October 2009 (though I didn't take it seriously until this pseudonym, so I guess the old stuff doesn't count). Get offa my lawn! |

Published my first one on Kindle in April of 2009 (seems like ages ago, now), and have been gradually adding to the collection at the rate of about one book per year. Newest one is due out next month sometime, barring the unexpected.

Seeing a huge range of epub dates, thank you. As ancient as 2006, all the way to brand shiny new.
I hope everyone is doing well with their books. Your vitality is fantastic.

Hi,
I'm brand new to self publishing but was with a small press for several years. I don't think I could be any more nervous. I'm glad to have found this forum.
