The animated books pay the lowest rates at the Big Two and you can forget about royalties.

We also have our own library, because sometimes seniors forget about taking books back and they have to pay fines. All our books are donated so if they want to hold on to them they can. They are not pressured to read it in a certain amount of days.

I don't have to pay royalties for the Microsoft engine which can save me as much as $6 to $7 per package in fees.

Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.

We've had really good mainstream publicity for these books and both Wanted and Chosen were snapped up as movie deals before each series even ended so I'm honestly just pinching myself.

Someday I hope to write a book where the royalties will pay for the copies I give away.
