Book Royalties Down Slightly

I just received my book royalties for this quarter.  They are down slightly from last quarter and down quite a bit from the quarter a year ago.  On the plus side, just enough there to get myself a new iPad.

The real story is that I need to get the next His Robot Wife book completed.  I remember reading something by a fantasy writer, I think it might have been Piers Anthony, to the effect that he came up with many great ideas but didn’t write them until they were sold to a publisher.  I can’t follow his example for several reasons, but it seems stupid not to be working whole-heartedly on the one book I know will sell well.  So I’ve been working on it this week.  It may even hop the line ahead of books that I had planned to finish first.
