Reply Subj: You'd have to strategically place a little pony. Very carefully.

No, it's a very specific storyline and piece of world-building, actually first written straight after the original novel. I may hassle the editor one day but since White Rocket Books is really a one-man-band it feels mean to pressure him. Plus, either Blackthorn was my worst-selling book or I got screwed, since I still haven't received a single penny royalty for it yet.

Well, you know one was sold at least because it's sitting on my bookshelf alongside the Robin Hood series (and in-between Lovecraft's Necronomicon and Tolkien - good company Ian). I even paid full postage for it!

It does mean that the planned third part of the trilogy probably won't ever happen.
In the same really-slow-getting-to-print stuff, about three years back an editor pitched me doing an ongoing monthly novella e-book series. So I dusted off an old idea and wrote the first four-volume arc of my Byzantium series, on the understanding that this would be put out on a regular schedule to build up reader loyalty and buying habits (the e-books were $2.99, I think). #1 came out in 2013. #2 came out in 2014. #3 has had five release dates so far, the last of which passed last November.

Such is ther world of small-press publishing.

Yikes. Well, I don't know what to say that is in anyway reassuring other than - hey you have stuff in print! But I'm sure you've already acknowledged that part. It is a great thing to see all your output though.

Have you found the self self-publishing you are doing with the "Watsarverse" series is a better reward, or at the very least, you're able to track it better?
