March was a HUGE Success!!!!

By the end of March, DarkSide Publishing had three titles available for purchase:

The Soulkeepers by G.P. Ching
Anathema by Megg Jensen
Into the Shadows by Karly Kirkpatrick

In one month we sold a combined total of just over 300 copies! Not bad for a seasoned title (Into the Shadows), a recent release (Anathema), and a debut (The Soulkeepers).

In a few days Angela Carlie will release her novel Dream Smashers, which is already receiving some really great buzz from book bloggers. We expect our sales to be soaring in April!
