That works out at a payment of five pounds ($8) a day for all that work.
I've so far written three books in the series, with a ten percent royalty rate, and have yet to see a penny of royalties. I'm told the series is a 'solid seller' for the company, but as the company does not market my book and I have so little time to promote it with my day job, each book only just 'earns out' the advance I was paid for each book.
Hard reality? Maybe. Enjoyable? Definitely. Will I be quitting my day job any time soon? Unfortunately not.....

Strange. Looking at your
Wiki I would have said that you were starting to take off like a rocket.

What's wrong with reading on something like a Kindle (but no, you don't want to sit on software)? At football games in the winter you really do want to sit on
something and read while waiting for the game to start.
