And one item for yesterday, another royalty has been tendered, this for the princely sum of 86 cents.  Ah, the writer’s life.  But lest I be spoiled, a one-time payment from another book came in too for a somewhat larger amount, even after the PayPal skim!  And as for the first, I emailed instructions that it be rolled over with others received thus far, to be sent later when more has accrued (or when the last buyer has bought a copy, which may be less distant than one might hope)
