A few authors are blogging about how much a book can make, how sales go over Christmas, royalties and the ever-changing world of publishing payments. I've linked to these other blogs via my own blog:
http://www.bearmountainbooks.com/hom...a-new-and-old/
http://www.bearmountainbooks.com/hom...data-on-sales/
Some of the links lead to other links because many of the authors are linking to authors who also list sales data. There is sometimes info in the comments trail as well (the smashwords link has some.)
Do note the dates on the blog posts--some of these links are to brand new data, but some are to links that are a few years old. All good info!
Many of the links came via
Jim Hines (Author of the Goblin Series) blog. He is great about sharing information with the writing community.
