A warning that there's a scam going around with people posing as contacts from Ingram.

On the tax question: make sure you claim for all the expenses you can: https://www2.societyofauthors.org/advice/rates-fees/author-expenses-checklist/ You might be able to average the income over two years to reduce higher rate taxes: https://www.friendandgrant.co.uk/blog/do-writers-have-to-pay-tax/

1. You're welcome. 2. Thank you for taking the risk of writing it, it was great fun to read. 3. These kind of figures are fascinating as we never get this kind of information from traditional publishers and I've always been curious as to how the price I pay is broken down.

I'm so very, very happy for you, Lady Jill. The recognition and prosperity are well deserved. At the risk of seeming like a wet blanket, might I gently suggest a chat with a tax accountant (or their UK counterpart) at your convenience? Not that I'm trying to tell you what to do...

Congratulations! As the proud owner of one ebook and two physical copies (for gifting), I'm very pleased to have helped in some small way with your house renovations and mortgage payments! P.S. Any chance of a sequel? PLEASE?

WHAT did I tell you! :D :D :D Absolutely, completely chuffed for you. Now then, I have to ask, on THIS side of all that dreadful writing and rewriting and re-re-re-RE-writing you went through coming up on nearly a year ago now--was it worth it??! I think the fans' dollars say yes, but you tell me. :D

Hoping the ability to pay for house reno's and pay down your mortgage convinces you that we deserve a sequel (or however you want to self-justify re-entering the authoring gauntlet...there was that remark about magical bird tears being an easter egg of world building that could be explored later... also, if you don't promise us anything, you can do it as slowly as you like. 8-) 8-)
