Smashwords

I’m in trouble now.

You marvellous, marvellous peeps have downloaded almost one HUNDRED copies of my short story, Scavenger.

The price must be right, I guess.

And lots of you have downloaded samples of my other books, too. That’s great. It is. No sarcasm here.

It’s just… I wish y'all’d BUY something. I need an income, blobdammit! I have expensive tastes and I have yet to get my first $10 out of Smashwords.

To give you an idea: Those of you who remember my Realm may also remember my track record with computers. I break them. Frequently. The average Mac ~~lunchbox~~ Mini gives me two years of faithful service before it up and decides to kark it. Mac Minis are not cheap, but I’d rather a Mini than the virus-prone PC clones.

My current Mini is almost past its inaugural year.

I do have an iPad and a spare laptop [hand-me-down from my Best Beloved] just in case the unthinkable happens and this Mini decides to roll over prematurely. I also have (ta-dah) a Dropbox account, on which I can store 2G of my WiPs before I have to start paying for it.

I have no idea when (or if) any of these things will fall victim to my Fickle Finger syndrome [It’s like a green thumb. In reverse. For computers] and die on me.

I also owe in excess of $200 just to have a working phone.

…and I have no income at all…

sad face

Anyway. You didn’t come here for my pathetic whinging. You came for mad props.

As you all know, I have the artistic merit of a diseased whelk, so no “thank you” art here.

Just simple words.

Thanks for downloading me. Thanks for reading me. You are all awesome, and don’t let me forget it :)
