One more set of questions, last time I promise: What did you do for a day job? How long did it take before you could quit that day job and write full time? Are you making enough to live comfortably now as a full-time writer?
Craig Alanson
While writing books for years, I was a finance manager/software developer for a big IT company. Finally my wife persuaded me to self-publish on Amazon in January 2016 and I quit my job in August 2016, which I still can't believe. According to Amazon, I am consistently one of the top 10 sci fi writers in the USA, and much of the time I am in the Top 100 writers overall on Amazon, so I am able to pay the mortgage by writing full-time.

Skippy, is there any chance I'll be reading ExFor Four in the near future?

Enjoyed book 3. I have to admit, Skippy is my favorite character. I do enjoy when Joe comes up with an idea that Skippy did not. And, I went straight to Amazon and bought book 4. You keep writing them and I'll keep reading. I am hoping for an audio version of book 4? I get so much more reading done when I can listen.
