Kim asked Eloisa James:

Hmm - So what happens to your profit when book covers are ripped off and books are sent back?

Eloisa James HI there, Kim! There is no profit when a book cover is ripped off. That's why publishers ask that people don't buy books with covers ripped off -- it means that someone in a bookstore allowed a book to be counted as "unsold" by sending back the cover and then it went into the market to be sold anyway.

But honestly, that's a drop in the bucket compared to the numbers of people who steal books by pirating them. It's such a drag.

Poor Horatius Wilde!?! Given your statement that you aren’t sure you’ll ever go back to him & the Wilde universe, I’ll simply conclude he died in the swamp and someone else less able and willing will have to take over the estate. Thank you for your answer and best of luck in your writing endeavours. I know from a friend who’s a writer that it’s not an easy process.
