Each month I post my sales and social numbers not only to keep a record, but also to be transparent with readers and any other indie authors. February flew by as I acclimated to a new full-time job. Beyond my newsletter, I didn’t participate in any marketing pushes, promos, or live events.
However, this was a month for expenses as different conventions and markets started sending invoices for vendor spaces. Thank goodness my live events begin this month!
Here are the February 2026 numbers:
