Ghost Warrior : what to do with it?

 The audiobook for Ghost Warrior bk2 is up for pre-order on Audible. I have to admit I'll be curious to see how it does, because the book has had the worst sales of any book I've ever published.

It sold about a thousand copies. That was it. I effectively 'lost' money, in that after paying for editing and artwork, I about $5 an hour for my work, (before taxes). I honestly don't know why it failed, a lot of folks I know who read it, loved it, but I guess a lot of the people who read bk1 didn't? 

I don't know if it was the topic, the cover, the people in the story, if folks don't want to read a story with an American Indian in it, or I just sucked at writing it. I mean I enjoyed writing the story a lot. I do want to write more, I had a whole second 4 book arc planned. At this point, while I may still write it, it won't be getting published. I'll just put it up on Patreon for my fans. Then at least I won't have to shell out for editing and a cover. However, that means writing will be sporadic and only occasional.

I will however, be forever curious as to why people didn't buy it.
