Barbara Freethy

Barbara wrote several books for Silhouette under a pen name, Kristina Logan, and then moved on to single title romance, writing books under my real name for Avon and NAL and most recently for Pocket Books where I wrote the Angel’s Bay Series.

In January 2011, Barbara began self publishing some of my backlist titles that had gone out of print and for which the rights had reverted to me. I was shocked at the success of those books. In July of 2011, SUMMER SECRETS had climbed to #1 on Amazon, #1 on B&N, and #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List! By the end of 2011, 10 of my titles had appeared on the bestseller lists for over 42 weeks.

So Barbara decided to self publish some ebook originals in a series called the WISH Series. The books include A SECRET WISH, JUST A WISH AWAY and WHEN WISHES COLLIDE. All of the books can be read on their own, but they are connected by the theme of wishes.

Barbara is now working on a family series, THE CALLAWAYS, and I’ll be self publishing the first book in the late fall of 2012. I’m excited that Indie publishing is allowing her to bring more books out more quickly for her readers and I hope to continue with that for a long while!

Her ebook sales have now topped 2 million ebooks sold! She can hardly believe it! A little over a million books were sold Amazon and almost another million at Barnes and Noble. She still have to calculate sales at Apple, Kobo, Smashwords and Google, but She is not a spreadsheet person so those numbers are coming. IReaderReview.com recently did an article on the top 50 Indie ebook sellers in March and She was very excited to come in at #1.
