And I'll have to remember to answer those questions in a post after Dying Embers comes out. <br /><br />As for the moola question, it all depends. Anywhere from a pittance up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. (For self-published AND traditional.) I think Bella Andre - a romance novelist - is looking at the six figures for her self-published stuff. <br /><br />And I don't think you're a nosy cow. I think maybe that cashier was, but not you.B.E.

I did tell her about your grandbaby, though. (That you had one. No details.) I think this area is a target market for cowboy romances. I hope they get some more in so you can sell out again. <br /><br />You're very welcome. I'm so glad they had your books where I could snatch one off the shelves. It's so much better than receiving one in the mail, and in the mail, I can't gloat to anyone but Hubs. (Which I did when I got home.) B.E.

I'm more interested in knowing your thought processes, if your real life experience counted when writing, how much of yourself is in your hero/heroine, how hard was it to get published and how much moola it's actually possible to earn from writing.

Yes, I have a real life with a husband, daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. I even have two furry dogs and a cat. I do laundry. I occasionally run the vacuum if Lawyer Guy doesn't beat me to it. And how very awesome that I sold out at that Walmart! This is me doing a happy dance!!! <i>*happy dances*</i> The last time I checked mine, the books hadn't been put out yet. :-P<br /><br />And thanks for the pimping. The next time you see that particular clerk, you can tell her that besides coffee, my next favorite drink is Diet Coke. ;DSilver Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606837105470988646noreply@blogger.com
