Publish or wait?

[Eifion Wyn Williams]

I published the first novel in my trilogy as an Ebook via Kindle/Amazon et al; Iron Blood & Sacrifice less than a fortnight ago and the sales of 'The Sons of Beli Mawr' are still in double figures. Whilst the readership is still building from infancy, I have completed the sequel; 'The Sacking of Bidog' and whilst it needs a final polish, it is almost ready to publish.
My question is; Do I publish the sequel now and benefit from any cross-readership, or do I wait until the first novel gains a measure of traction first and spend my time marketing that one?

Maybe don't rush that vital polishing. But dangle as bait for buyers of the first book, the promise of a sequel coming soon.

Mm, sound advice, thank you.
