2 days until Age of Legend Releases, how are things going?

I can't believe the date for Age of Legend is finally so close. While it seems as if it has taken forever, it also seems as if it's already been out for ages (because so many people have read it as part of the Kickstarter campaign). I'm so thrilled people have been enjoying the read and are looking forward to Age of Death (Feb 4, 2020) and Age of Empyre (May 5, 2020).

So, how has it gone so far?  Well, in some respects it's hard to tell because getting preliminary numbers isn't easy, but we do know some things such as:

• 1,391 hardcover sold via the Kickstarter
• 49 hardcovers sold directly via our website
• 5,144 hardcovers shipped to retail stores (Amazon | B&N | Books-a-Millon | Book Depository)
• 2,415 ebooks sold via our Kickstarter
• 3,020 ebooks pre-ordered through Amazon US
• 615 ebooks pre-ordered through foreign Amazon stores (UK | Canada | Germany)
• 45 ebooks sold directly via our website
• 7,000 audiobook preorders
• No sales data yet for ebooks on Nook, Apple, Kobo, Smashwords

My Riyria printed returns are 6% - 8%, and we've seen about 10% - 12% on the Del Rey hardcovers. If we take a really conservative estimate and assume 22% returns that would mean we've already sold 15,679 copies across all formats! And that doesn't even count all the other sites that I have zero data for at the moment.

Here's the breakdown for those that like graphs:

I'm thrilled with this kind of early support for the books, and Robin and I thank you all. And if you haven't picked up your copy, maybe you could use the links above to grab one. Also a reminder that hardcovers bought from our site are signed, and ebooks bought from our site or DRM-free and can never "disappear" if the retailer later removes them from the store.

Thanks again!
