Aldo Salt liked the forum thread, How I got to 250 orders in 10 days
In my experience, 95% of the orders I got were from emails I sent to people I personally knew professionally where I basically asked for the favor of ordering my book to help me get published. (I was gracious, but I was not subtle.) 
I wouldn’t say I had a platform, but I do know a lot of people, at least well enough to ask them to buy the book.  Very few orders came in from social media, facebook, twitter, blogs, forums etc.  A few were from people I knew on Linkedin.

    A young princess and others must band together to save their world from imminent ecological collapse in this fantasy-adventure story, reminiscent of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and Herbert’s Dune.

    This is the sequel to The Bones of the Past. Reading on means (mild) spoilers if you haven’t read book 1!

    The Bones of the Past
    Life twisting magic, demonic possession and immortals who have outlived many of the gods themselves come together in this epic fantasy inspired by the likes of Glen Cook and Steven Erikson.
    Aldo Salt commented on The Knight Proper
    The prologue to this book is brilliant! Warm, cold, human, monstrous...perhaps the best word to describe the climax of the prologue is "Bone-Chilling"!

    Out of curiosity, what inspired the family dynamic of Knight vs. Necromancer, with a father and daughter taking part in two seemingly contradictory professions?

      Flintlock epic fantasy that’s a bit dark without going all grimdark. A condemned witch and a traumatized soldier on the run refuse to become the pawns of dead gods who want to murder their parents and a living sword with dreams of genocide.

      Sync City
      In a post-apocalyptic future, fractured timelines are wreaking havoc on the world. Only a tough, hard-drinking enforcer named Jack Trevayne can hold things together. This is gritty, hard-boiled sci-fi with attitude. The future is complicated. Jack is not.
