I’m thrilled and really overwhelmed at how well the Secrets of Sorcerers Vol. 1 graphic novels have been selling. My biggest thanks goes out to the Highway Bookshop, on highway 11 near Cobalt, where the most copies have been sold. I don’t have the exact numbers, but it looks like the shop has sold around 50 or more books. I recently took a trip to North Bay and dropped off 20 more copies, while on my way back here, to Kirkland Lake.
I’m fairly certain that we’ve now sold around 600+ copies of Secrets of Sorcerers. This is really good for an independant graphic novel, especially since we’ve only been able to handle distribution in Ontario. I can’t imagine how many we could sell if we actually had a distributor or, say, some sort of advertising campaign. My appreciation must also go out to all the other retailers that carry Secrets of Sorcerers; Chat Noir, in New Liskard, who also held a book signing for me; the Coles store, located in the Northgate mall, in North Bay, also held a book signing for me; There were also copies at the Chapters, in Sudbury, and I can’t forget about the Coles in the Timmins mall either.
I’ve received a lot of emails and feedback from both retailers and readers expressing anticipation for volume 2. I realize it’s been a while now since volume 1 came out and I assure you I’m working on getting volume 2 out. Thanks to everyone for reading!
