Hey TJ, I adore your books and I would love to support you more, but I am also a poor college student in Germany, so I can only get your books through online stores, but a lot of them are really expensive that way. Like the Tales of Verania Series. I bought all ebooks and I would love to have physical copies but it's like 20€ per paperback. Is there any hope that they will go down in price? Thank you for everything!!

Hey! All the books I have listed are self-published, given that I had to take the rights back from the former publisher who unfortunately mismanaged the royalties, leaving hundreds of us without payment for our hard work. As such, I had to republish everything. The prices of the books are set they way they are because it's the only way I'll see a meaningful profit. I used Amazon exclusively to republish the paperbacks, and how their payout system works, I get a certain percentage for every book sold. That means that while I priced the ebooks a bit lower than Dreamspinner had them, I had to keep the same price on the paperbacks to ensure I get *something* from the sales. I get that it's expensive for a lot of people, but the pricing is something I researched extensively before setting. I might do sales in the future, (especially when/if the next book in the series comes out), but for now, the pricing will stay as is. I wish I had better news! Thank you for reading my books. tj
