Not the greatest November for sales, but some signs that things may be looking up. My bestseller for November 2025 was my new RPG supplement, The Wastelands: A Divided States of America RPG supplement. You can download it today at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/545786/
Sales still aren't anywhere near as strong as they were this time last year...go figure, but this little story has taken off.
Cometary Ghosts was my bestseller for October 2025. Check it out today at https://books2read.com/u/meJdnz
From the Nomadic Delirium Press Blog:
Cometary Ghosts is currently sitting at #33 on the DriveThruFiction bestsellers list at https://site.drivethrufiction.com/top_100.php. Let's push it even higher than that!
An abandoned ship loaded with illegal goods. It’s every pirate’s dream come true, but the dream for Captain Nils Vandenbroucke quickly turns into a nightmare when he and his crew board the dead ship and realize that they’re not alone.
My bestselling title for September 2025 was my newest novel, Slave to the Stars. Check it out at https://books2read.com/u/3Gg068
Tilmath was born a slave, but she was no ordinary slave. Unlike most humans, she was an Espari, a human capable of sensing the emotions of other beings.
Now, having escaped from her slave masters, the teenager finds herself on the run and about to meet some of the most interesting creatures she could ever imagine, and go on an adventure that she could never dream of. Using her poorly trained empathic senses, she tries to do everything she can to survive, but quickly learns that survival isn’t the most important thing for a slave girl escaping to the stars.
This was a really dismal month for sales. Luckily we have credit cards to help with rent.......
My new novel, Slave to the Stars, continues to be my top selling title. https://books2read.com/u/3Gg068

Maybe I should just keep cutting and pasting these posts. The bestseller for April was The Divided States of America RPG once again.

No one can say with any reasonable certainty when the United States of America began to fall apart. Many point to the presidential election of 2016, but most believe the breakup started long before this. Now, in the year 2110, the former United States is made up of fourteen nation-states and The Wastelands. Some of the nation-states have prospered under self-rule, while others have declined. Some nation-states are very accepting of outsiders, while others trust no one…sometimes not even their fellow citizens. There is chaos in some places, and order in others…sometimes too much order.
The first state to break away from the USA was, not unexpectedly, Texas, and from there, things continued to spiral out of control as the national government tried to hold on to control that the state governments wanted back, and eventually, the federal government was no longer able to control the states, and the break-up came about.
Some of the nation-states kept the name “America” in their new names. Some did this as a tribute to where they had come from, while others did it to remind their citizens of what they were breaking away from. Others adopted new names, or took on names that were given to them.
Borders in some areas are heavily patrolled, even walled in places, while other borders have no protection at all…mostly it depends on the views of the new government and its citizens, even though sometimes those two groups still don’t agree. Let’s face it, greed and independence are bred into the human race, and even allying with others that have similar viewpoints does not necessarily mean that they will always get along.
As a game, players create characters with seven attributes that are used to enhance a variety of skills. As the characters advance, they gain experience, which can be put towards their skills, their health, or banked to allow the player to raise their character’s attributes.
Once again The Divided States of America Role Playing Game was my top selling title. March was a lean month for sales. Obviously people are starting to worry about the economy, and books are one of the first things people stop buying.
Can the game be the top seller for April?

This month's bestseller wasn't even close. The Divided States of America RPG had the biggest first month of any title that I've ever released.

Humanity has finally made it to the stars, and they’ve found they’re not alone. They are one of twenty species making their way around the galaxy.

This is the galaxy of Ephemeris 2.0.
The game features thirteen different character classes and twenty different species. You can play a Clipsie Cyber Wizard, a Human Pirate, or maybe a Taurin Nanist. Build your characters up with goods, cybernetic implants, genetic modifications, and special abilities that are unique to each class.
The universe of Ephemeris 2.0 is yours to explore, and yours to build. The new version of the game is a d20 version, and the rules are less convoluted, and more player friendly than the previous version.

Joseph was born the son of a goatherd chieftain, destined to do nothing more than lead a small band of goatherds, Joseph quickly becomes disillusioned with his tribe and his life, and when his young wife and child die, Joseph leaves his people behind, having no idea what Yahovah has planned for him.
Joseph meets his new wife, Yasmen, and with the help of an ancient man who only calls himself the Elder Rishni, Joseph becomes the leader of a new group of people, a group that grows in numbers and strength, and eventually grows powerful enough to possibly challenge the mighty Indo-Aryan armies and their mighty leader, the Kzer…possibly…
