You guys are amazing! 😮
Almost exactly one month ago, I posted that The Men of Bare Bear Fantasy Coloring Book series had sold almost 40 copies since May 1, when the first volume was published. Flash forward about 30 days (I'm writing this on Monday, August 24), and that number has more than DOUBLED! I never imagined I would be closing in on my first 100 sales so fast. I was going to consider myself lucky if I sold 20 a year!
Earlier this month, I published the first seasonal book, Vol 3: Tricks & Treats, and over this past weekend, like Santa on Christmas Eve, I sneaked in and published Vol 4: Happy Holidays.
Across four volumes, The Men of Bare Bear Fantasy celebrates a wonderfully diverse cast of big, bearded, body-positive men of different ages, races, cultures, and backgrounds. From everyday adventures and legendary gods to Halloween mischief and holiday traditions from around the world, each book offers a different theme while keeping the same playful Bare Bear spirit.
And the Bare Bears aren't just for guys in the USA, either. Here is a list of all of the countries where you can purchase the Bare Bears. Click on your country to shop now (Note: not all links can be clicked in all countries):

Now that I've become more familiar with the Amazon KDP system, I'm also ready to announce that I can now offer wholesale pricing. If you own or work in a LGBTQ+ bookstore, gift shop, campground, or would like something different for a vendor table, drop me a line at barebearfantasy@gmail.com for more information!
And if you've made it all the way down here, thank you twice! 😄
Seriously, whether you've bought a book, shared a post, told a friend, or simply followed along while this slightly crazy idea has grown into four books and nearly 100 sales, I appreciate it more than you know. And an extra shout-out to Nick, whose own coloring books sparked this idea to begin with.
The Bears aren't done yet. Not even close. I have a list for future editions that seems to be growing by the minute! 🐻
