just finished season 1 of a podcast that has exactly zero AO3 works and I have never been so disappointed in my life

(it was The Hidden People so if anyone's listened/listening to it 👀 but I also highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't)

Bookcast Episode 70: First of the Month

Welcome Episode 70 of the Bookcast, my platform for sharing short fiction and updates on what I'm reading and writing. If you love what I do as an author and you look forward to this show every week, I desire support of this podcast. At bookcast.buzzsprout.com you can offer a one-time or recurring monthly gift, for which I would be ever so grateful. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much in advance for your support. 

If you would like to offer up a comment, a question, a wish for the new year, here is the link to my blog post with the speakpipe function or the form listed. Use your voice or your fingers and send it on through! I’ll add the post to the show notes and share your input in a future show. 

 In this episode, I'm excited to share with you my latest writing plans, recent book reviews, and we talk MONEY. I share my earnings and sales across different platforms, offering some honest(and earnest) insights into the financial side of being a writer. Alongside this, I'll be talking about future book releases,  fan fiction writing, and what's on the horizons. Grab a snack and a drink and settle in for a good chat. 

I talk about the following books on today's show:

2023 In the MONEY

So, every year, author and author coach Rachael Herron does a money episode where she talks bout how much she made and how she made it. I wanted to share a bit of transparency on what money looks like as a very small time indie author. SMALL TIME is not me insulting myself, it's bringing levity and realness. There is a reason I work a full time job.

All told, I made $3708: $700 more than 2022. Imagine if I didn't put any books out?

The breakdown:

Amazon KDP $2,042.63

BookFunnel $490.57

Draft2Digital $455.64

Google Books $28.55

Findaway $458.61

ACX $232.30

Ebook/print : $2,791.01

Audio: $736.41

Paperback: $172.49

Ebooks sold: 1243

eBooks gifted 15440

Audiobooks moved 3818 (free + reduced price)

Paperback sold: 87

KENP- 566 pages (my books have been out of KU since 2019 but if they never turn the book in I still get paid for pages) $2.39

My highest selling platform is of course KDP, followed by draft2digital. No surprises there because those are the major players. And of course book funnel is my 3rd. I've love for book funnel to be #1, but I think readers still don't really trust direct sales. My readers are on Amazon.

Paid units by market are overwhelmingly US readers. The next largest percentage is literally 'other' so that's likely Canada, UK, etc

Paid units by title- Biggest seller was Hey Lover with 491 copies,, then Elysium at 155 units, Then second time around, then Never List, then Ruby's.

Paid Units by series- my standalone works clock in first (The Never List, Hey Lover, A Thin Line), then Black Diamond and Potter Lake series are basically neck and neck, then the holiday shorts and then Ruby's.

Tw: torture

The most common depiction of the Krampus is that it resembles something Devil-like (similar to The Devil in Abrahamic religions), goat-like (similar to the mythical demon Baphomet), or satyr-like (possibly similar to Pan, the Greek god of wilderness and rustic music) with more fur in his body. As a colleague of Saint Nick, Krampus is essentially the anti-Santa Claus in that he brings suffering and torture to naughty children whereas Santa brings gifts. Most versions of the Krampus depicts the Krampus almost as a Knight Templar character who would severely beat children into obedience, or, in some versions, outright kills the child. Krampus may even go as far as to kidnap the child and put them into a sack and take them back to his lair to devour them. Or, he simply takes them to the underworld. One of his main discipline tools includes birch sticks that he could use to swat children with.

It is customary to offer a Krampus schnapps referred to as a "Krampuslauf", a strong distilled fruit brandy. These runs may include Perchten, similarly wild pagan spirits of Germanic folklore and sometimes female in representation, although the Perchten are properly associated with the period between the winter solstice and January 6

Especial Episodio 250 Como grabar un podcast de éxito en spreaker

PODCASTS PARA LINGUISTAS

Hola a todos, Hoy dia me encuento de tremendisimo buen humor pues he vencido la etapa primera de Administracion: La Guerra de los Papeles (ahora con poster gratis de Angel Gabilondo si compras el DVD Edicion Especial!) (Aqui abajo, un ya muy conocido extracto de la batalla sangrienta):

Voy a aprovechar la semana de 'vacaciones' que me queda para hacer publicidad de algunos de mis podcasts favoritos, que pueden ser de utilidad a otros estudiantes de lenguas o sencillamente les gustaran a los amantes del buen analisis social y politico, o del humor negro. 1. THIS AMERICAN LIFE Una amiga de Boston me paso, hace tiempo, un par de grabaciones del programa de radio This American Life. Me encantaron. El programa, emitido desde Chicago, trata de innombrables temas sociales y politicos y hace entrevistas muy diversas a personajes de todo tipo. Han hablado de todo, desde la polemica de las guerras en Iraq y Afganistan hasta lo que puede llegar a ser el amor incondicional. Los podcasts (se encuentran en la parte 'Radio Archives' de la pagina del programa) duran una hora y con ellos te mueres o de la risa o del llanto. 2. CARNE CRUDA Una de las cosas que me encantaba hacer, el verano pasado, cuando volvia del curro en bus, era escuchar los programas de Carne Cruda que se reemetian en aquel mes incandescente de agosto. Lo primero que tengo que decir es que Javier Gallego 'Crrrrrrudo' tiene una voz magnifica.Yo misma soy casi baritono y me cuesta mucho encontrar a un tipo que tenga la voz mas grave que yo, creanme. Carne Cruda es otro ejemplo de un programa que lidia con unos temas muy diversos, con mucho humor gloriosamente poco sutil, y una denuncia clara y comprometida del mundillo de la clase politica. Tambien me gusta En un mundo feliz. Eso si, lo siento mucho Tato Puerto, me pareces un periodista muy bueno y muy serio en tu trabajo... pero tu voz no me pone como la de tu colega Javi. 3. TAM-TAM CANADA Llevaba tiempo queriendo encontrar un podcast que me gustara de la radio canadiense francofona para ir acostumbrandome al acento y al vocabulario distintos. Tam-Tam trata de temas culturales y politicos de actualidad. Los presentadores son todos periodistas serios que saben tratar a fondo los temas, pero nunca son pesados. 4. EL PODCAST MISTERIOSO DE LATINOAMERICA Intente encontrar un podcast latinoamericano que me gustara. La verdad, lo intente. Bucee en Caracol Radio, por ejemplo, pero no me convencio ninguno. Si alguien sabe de alguno que sea bueno (para aclarar, lo que a mi me interesa es un analisis sincero y contundente de las acciones de los gobiernos; respeto de la igualdad de los sexos; una pizca de humor burlon y desenfadado... pero igual soy demasiado exigente, o no estoy teniendo en cuenta los factores culturales que puedan entrar en juego) me encantaria que me lo dejara en la seccion de comentarios. 5. NO HAY PODCAST FRANCES... Porque los gilipollas de France Inter y France Info me tocan los huevos. Y va, France Culture esta muy bien. 6. ... NI PODCAST DE REINO UNIDO Bueno, a veces escucho BBC Alba, cadena escocesa emitida en gaelico escoces, porque me encanta el ritmo del idioma y al no entender nada no me pueden estresar datos del tipo OTROS DOS MILLONES DE PERSONAS MUEREN EN AFRICA, EA, 32 SEGUNDOS DE INFORMACION, PERO UF, FALLECEN TRES IRLANDESES Y ESTAMOS SEIS MESES CON EL ACONTECIMIENTO... BBC Radio 4 tiene unos programas de altisima calidad... sobre todo 'Analysis' (surprise, surprise). (Si pinchan en el enlace aparece una lista en orden alfabetico de los podcasts de BBC 4). Espero que les haya sido de utilidad esta lista. Hasta la proxima, BUENAS NOCHES!
