jeriendhalTo Do:
Need to get back to work on The Summer Intern.
Revise Prisoners of War to remove Terinu references (mostly name changes and removing refs to the Holy Den Mother) for publication on Smashwords.
Commission cover art for same.
Start to revise Triumvirate before throwing it to thewolves Germans for beta.
Commission cover art for same before posting to Smashwords.
Distant Future: Poke at The Ship and Assassinating the Dead and see if there's life.
Sales Report:
Got a couple of sales on Captive of the Red Vixen but it's not doing as well TDC or UD. I'm guessing it's because the narrow appeal of a furry based story. I'm also becoming convinced that Smashwords makes most of its profits selling ISBN numbers. Of the $40 or so I'm made on this venture so far, $30 has gone to buying ISBN's for The Dragon's Companion, Unexpected Diversions, and Captive. Also, I'm debating whether to put up a lot of individual short stories at cheaper prices or aim more towards long form tales at higher prices. More profit is to be had from the latter, but a variety in former might mean more overall sales as customers have a variety to pick through. Have to think on that.
