They should all go out in the mail, tomorrow. Those who have opted to be paid by PayPal will have their money this afternoon.
Choosing payment through Paypal is an option for any author who has an account there. It saves us postage, which is getting more and more expensive, and your money can not be lost in the mail. We always use it for those outside the USA, as our bank has a hefty surcharge ($18 each) for checks cashed abroad. But anyone here can choose that venue for payment if they like. All you have to do is let us know you prefer it, and make certain we have a record of the e-mail address that is the one you accept payments to.
The title that sold the most copies this quarter is pictured above, the latest in the Shannon Delaney series by Elizabeth Eagan-Cox. In fact that whole series holds a strong lead, thanks to Elizabeth Eagan-Cox's persistent marketing via Internet Radio.
Overall sales were down for the spring, but then they usually are at this time of year, because folks are gardening and working outside more, so spend less time reading. The only slower time for book sales is the holiday season, when folks are spending money on gifts for others.
A good many authors had quite high sales at www.fictionwaise.com, but most of the money went to pay conversion fees. Fictionwise converts to nine different formats and sells from their site. They charge $15 a title for each one we list, and the money comes out of sales, before either the authors or the company collects a dime. It is an expense we share, equally. Whenever FW pays us, WHATever they pay, the author receives a 50% royalty.
