20,000 traditionally published audiobooks!

When I passed my 10,000th self-published audiobook sold, I mentioned that I didn’t have a good way to total up how many traditionally published (through Tantor and Podium) audiobooks I’ve sold.

But I had some help from someone very skilled with Excel, and I am pleased to report that I sold my 10,000th traditionally published audiobook! That’s more than I expected.

Actually, the proceeding statement, while true, is also somewhat inaccurate.

I sold my 10,000th traditionally published audiobook some time ago.

In point of fact, I sold my 20,000th traditionally published audiobook sometime around the end of 2021. My two bestselling titles were FROSTBORN: THE GRAY KNIGHT and SEVENFOLD SWORD: PART I.

Thanks for listening, everyone! And thanks to everyone at Podium and Tantor for their hard work in bringing the audiobooks to life.

I have to admit it’s actually a pretty sweet deal. I didn’t have to do any work beyond sending in pronunciations. All I have to do is promote the ebooks, which I would do anyway, and then watch the money arrive every quarter. 🙂

That said, the last two and a half years have been pretty challenging for most people. God likes to remind us that all things are transient and all people are mortal. That said, I hope that some of my audiobooks have provided a pleasant distraction while driving, working, exercising, or simply going about your day.
