First Mammoth Royalty Logged In for Fall

Come the autumn solstice and, ho!, the first fall royalty take emerges above the horizon.  This time not the iconic one penny payment of a few seasons back (see March 13, below), but not much over an order of magnitude more than that either.  Also a discussion with the publisher on ways of payment — PayPal will be okay so postage can be saved.  Every bit counts, eh?

Thus the life of the short story writer.  Actual publishers and amounts are not reported to save embarrassment on either side.  But in the interest of truth, this is for one story in an anthology which has been out for almost seven years — and a seasonal one at that (and not this season) — so that it’s still reporting sales at all is actually rather nice.

At least I think so
