Self-Publishing and Getting Paid

Well, I finally get paid this week. With Amazon paying 60 days after the close of each month, it's been 90 days that I've been publishing without getting paid. Smashwords is ever worse. With Smashwords paying 30 days after the close of the quarter, and distributors taking their time to post sales, it won't be until early February that I receive any money from my Apple or Sony sales.

Add to that the fact that First Son seems to have run its course causing October to be a less than stellar month.

It's time to get product out there. Fortunately, Melanie is almost finished with the fourth Chloe Boston book, I'm halfway through my next M/M Romance book, and Melanie sent and official letter to Dorchester asking for a reversion of rights on three of her early books. That means we should have some material coming out soon.

In addition, we're still waiting for The Book of Dreams Series to catch on. We've sold very few books in the series. Once/If it catches on, we should see it and the Chloe Boston Series carry us for a few months.

Happy Halloween all.
