What you see above is a screen grab of a recent comment made on Carroll Bryant's blog. Besides the fact that Carroll and his herd of sheep are still naming the wrong people (most likely in a lame attempt to get us to say who we really are), we are called jealous. Let's take a look at Carroll's so-called success so we can see what we are supposed to be jealous of, shall we?
The follow screen grabs are from Novel Rank and they show what Carroll has been able to sell on Amazon, or lack thereof:
As you can see, the last book that was sold on Amazon was Year of the Cat 32 days ago. Three of the four books by Carroll Bryant were last purchased 208-216 days ago.
Success can be a tricky thing to define and it isn't always defined by monetary means. If we were authors, we would hope that we would have some sort of success beyond selling a book, maybe, once a year. We certainly aren't saying that self-published/independent authors cannot have successful sales. Just look at Jessica Sorenson and her books; they are doing wonderfully. However, when your writing has as many problems as Carroll's, it is no surprise that his sales are few and far between.
When you badger bloggers, make an ass out of yourself and conduct yourself in an inappropriate and unprofessional manner, make wild claims about people you perceive as your enemy, name people who do not know you and have not interacted with you, it is no surprise that this author's sales are almost non-existent.
So no, Carroll, none of us here are jealous of you.
