Author Down!

Eeesh. My website went down Friday morning thanks to a substandard host who failed me yet again. I left that host, and I’m in the process of moving the site over. So, my newsletter signup isn’t exactly working. To sign up for the newsletter, you’ll have to send an email to angie @ angela-cameron dot com .

Any images not loading here is due to this failure of the website. Please, be patient with us as we try to move everything over.

Real Money as a Best Selling Author

I stumbled upon a great blog today. This wonderful post explains the financial ins and outs of being a bestselling author. It is, unsurprisingly, not nearly as impressive as we new writers would hope. But this sobering information is so needed, and so appreciated.

Here’s a small glimpse…

“To give you a condensed version of what all those figures mean, for the sale period of July through November 30, 2008. my publisher reports sales of 64,925 books, for which my royalties were $40,484.00. I didn’t get credit for all those sales, as 21,140 book credits were held back as a reserve against possible future returns, for which they subtracted $13,512.69 …

My net earnings on this statement was $27,721.31, which was deducted from my advance. My actual earnings from this statement was $0.

My advance for Twilight Fall was $50,000.00, a third of which I did not get paid until the book physically hit the shelf … my agent received $7,500.00 as her 15% (which she earns, believe me) the goverment received roughly $15,000.00, and $1594.27 went to cover my expenses (office supplies, blog giveaways, shipping, promotion, etc.) After expenses and everyone else was paid, I netted about $26K of my $50K advance for this book, which is believe it or not very good — most authors are lucky if they can make 10% profit on any book. This should also shut up everyone who says all bestselling authors make millions — most of us don’t.”

There so much more information on the blog. Please look at Genreality for more http://www.genreality.net/

Succubusted by Inara Lavey

Succubusted
by Inara Lavey

Publish Date: 2008-12-01
ISBN:  978-1-60777-102-9
Price: $1.99

The blurb for this short story on Ravenous’s website is:

“Poor Lil. Though she has hair the color of dark chocolate, cobalt blue eyes and a lush mouth worthy of Angelina Jolie, she unfortunately takes after her grandmother. And when you have succubae blood running in your family tree, dates tend to start with a bang and end with a whimper. But just when she’s beginning to think she’ll spend the rest of her life moving from town to town with a trail of used-up, exhausted men in her wake, the carnival comes to town. There she meets Damien, a tall, dark stranger with intense green eyes, dark wavy hair – and a secret of his own.”

While it’s a great blurb, it doesn’t relay how fun this story is. Lavey’s “Succubusted” is as funny as it is sexy. The author has a sharp wit and casual voice that makes it a wonderful quickie, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a sensual paranormal escape on their lunch break.

What do vamps do at IHOP?

Want to see Michael and Jonas in public? What about in an IHOP? Well then, I have a great character interview for you.

Come to Jennifer’s Random Musings http://jennifersrandommusings.wordpress.com/ to see her interview. I thought it was hilarious and so typically Jonas. I think he’s hoping to have Jennifer as a snack.

Stop by, read the interview, and chat with us about whether or not you’d let them change you into a vampire if you had a choice. I’m curious to see what everyone thinks! Plus, your comments could get you a copy of one of the Blood & Sex books.
