hey!
I just got my first royalty statement! This is for the month of June, as Harlequin’s royalty periods end June 30 and December 31. So the book had been out for a month when the royalty period ended. I did not earn out (which is what it’s called when you’ve earned your advance back), but that doesn’t surprise anyone. I *did* sell about 7000 books in June.
