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. So for all of you who’ve been asking how the book is doing, there, that’s our first indicator. As Deirdre says, “More than 200 books a day!” Hee! I think that’s a pretty cool way to think of it. :)

Wow! This is really cool! I mean, sure, it’d be cooler if it had a BIG FAT CHECK with it, but heck fire, that’s pretty cool!

Wow. A royalty statement!

Ted came into Dublin last night and helped me babysit today. It’s easier with two people, especially when Seirid was being much less charming today than yesterday. Had we been wise enough to get Shaun to come in, we could’ve gone to see Narnia this afternoon, but there’s no way to get ahold of Shaun, and it seemed mean to go without him.

Apparently the internet place down next to our house has turned off their wireless because it was screwing things up, so I’m not going to be able to check email except from in town again. If you really need to talk to me, email mizkit73 at yahoo dot com, and I’ll check that email from the shop. I think the handful of people who might have something critical to say have my cell phone mobile number. :)
