…if I was to put a copy or three of this middle-grade fantasy novel I’ve just written up on the Terri Windling auction, would people be interested in that? ’cause I’m not even planning to give this to my agent until I’ve finished the series, but people are asking when they get to read it, so I thought maybe I’d offer a chance. Be one of ten people to read it (that’s all the Lulu.com copies I’m having printed), like. Probably I’d set it up as something like bid whatever…

I’ve earned out my half of the cover art costs, which is…well, I mean, really, other than time, that’s our only cost. So I’m into the profit zone now.
