Dude, I have one book that's coming out this summer, my first book from a small publisher (happy dance -- sorry, forgot myself there), and I'll be estatic if I get a $500 royalties check.

OMG, and complaining about it. I don't think I can stand to go visit that post. You know, sometimes you don't have to bite your tongue. I'm glad you posted this. People are spiteful and vicious sometimes. Good for you for taking a poke at setting the record straight! LOL someone is making 60K a year writing? OMG, and complaining about it.

I was sort of bemused until she told Tina she had to scan her royalty statements to prove that she sold books! The unmitigated gall of that stunned me. Ah well, not only has she pissed off EC authors and Lydia Joyce fans but her comments that 60K a year was nothing is going to offend the majority of Americans whose median income is 42K as a household and 22K individual.

That is, before Tina/Jaid tromped her. I hope I'm never arrogant enough to believe that I know what another person's business grosses if I'm not even one of their employees. *wry grin* I really don't think she thought it through before she popped off...if she'd known Jaid would be there (but c'mon...of course, she would - lol), perhaps she wouldn't have been <B>quite</B> so vocal. I'll give the author props for having balls to state her opinion, but she loses 'em for distorting her own truths to validate her opinion. There's that word again. Wonder if she learned the difference after that thread snowballed? *g* Was that not the biggest load of crap disguised as fact?! - lol. That is, before Tina/Jaid tromped her.
