No question just a comment (with obligatory question mark)? Started back on the Wilson series recently after a couple of year's hiatus from reading the first five or six. Really enjoying them. Thank you, you are a really good writer and I hope you're making decent money from the Wilson series.

Hi Po,
Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the books. I'm a little embarrassed about the making decent money. I don't think there are many authors making 'decent' money these days. The market is flooded. In 2019, my revenue was $17,000 and my cost of production (editing and covers) was $5,000. I spent $3,000 on Facebook adds. You can do the calculation yourself. I may not be typical of all authors but those are my figures I promise you.
