Just when you think you have it made

So, I'm looking at sales of my latest anthology on Kindle, and I see:

Marketplace Currency eBook Royalty Paperback Royalty Total Royalty
Amazon.co.jp JPY 212.00 0.00 212.00

And then, I realize, the royalty is in yen! (;>(

212.00 JPY = 1.927606 USD

Back to 8-course meals: two burgers and a 6-pack.

Don’t spend that all at once lol.

I know, one can't be too careful. (;>)

hahaha

[Anna]

You've broken into the Japanese market? Respect! Never mind the lack of dough!

[Theodore]

I know. Is that crazy or what?!

[Anna]

I think it's amazing that someone so far away buys your ebook and you get a little spike in your sales, and money!

Try not to spend more on your celebrating than you earned...

[Theodore]

Thanks, Alex and Anna...

I will take my wife to the show at the clubhouse tonight. It's $2US...she can kick in the change. (;>)

You got to wonder how they found the book.

I think I may have gotten one sale once upon a time from there, although it probably wasn't for my book. It was probably for someone else's that we published through our company. We've had sales in the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, Germany, France (I think), Japan (I think), Australia, and New Zealand. We once got a big order from some other South Pacific place, but that turned out to be a scam.

I've gotten sales in Canada (the people who burned down the White House in 1812 (;>)), England, Germany, India, and a few other places, but they usually resulted from communications with friends. Still, strange things do happen.

It is, at least, a smaller world than it used to be.

That is a very funny story, Ted! But also full of hope!

Thanks, Gang! (;>)
