I attended the 2026 Sacramento Book Festival and had a fabulous time. This is my second year as an author and this year's event was even better than last year. At the 2025 event I sold 19 books, which I thought was great since I only had Relentless Blades for sale.
This year blew me away! I sold 26 Paperbacks of Relentless Blades, and 5 Hardcover. I also sold 14 Ashbound Oaths Paperback and 3 Hardcover, so 48 in total!!! Additionally, I partnered with two fellow Indie Authors and sold 5 of their books. It was incredible.
The only downside is that I underestimated my sales and ran out of Relentless Blades Paperback books. I suspect if I had more, I would have sold at least 5 more. I left the event with an hour to go because of this.
I also sold 4 prints of my Ashbound Oaths cover and 1 of Relentless Blades. I couldn't have been more thrilled. I sold the paperbacks for $15 each or a bundle of the two for $25. I may up this slightly for the next event, not sure.
On a side note, book 3 of the trilogy is currently with Beta Readers. I've received feedback from one and am starting to make some slight changes as a result.
