As much as my last Professor displeased me, this one is pleasing me.

She sent out information on where to purchase the books before the class began, and e-mailed me the syllabus when I asked for it.
I also will be less stressed with the take-home exam she is having us do.

yay

Not.
A.
Chance.

(Quick search gives, for a first-time author, $1,000-$1,500 advance and 4-6% royalty on a print run of 20,000. Given the more sales/less books trend that's going, I am suspecting that at least the print run would have dropped by now.)

Ed Greenwood did say it can take a number of years, but Harlequin has a dedicated market and they are very sure of how many books they are going to sell... with or without a known name.

They have readers who "read by number". Oh! Harlequin #4786 is out! It does do wonders for sales.
