The Reality of Being an Indie Author
It's 2017.
By this point in time, I have published four novels (one currently out of print) and sixteen short stories. It has been a wonderful journey, and I wouldn't change it for anything.
But here's the reality of being an indie author:
In 2016, I drove 4,927.2 miles to and from events promoting my books.
I had $4,560.41 in sales from my books.
I spent $5,317.47 on inventory purchases, editing, formatting, advertising, Square fees, shipping, and other book-related expenses.
Yay inventory purchas...

Congratulations on what you've accomplished thus far, J.S. You've obviously worked hard and now with a re-adjustment of your plans, you'll work smarter. To a great 2017!
