First let me say: I’m grateful you’re reading my books, however you choose to read.
(Unless you’re reading a pirated copy–and then I hope you downloaded some viruses along with those stolen books.)
If you’re borrowing from a library or picking up a used copy at a bookstore, great. If you’re reading in KU, great. If you grabbed it when it was free, great. That’s why I run those free days every quarter!
But if you’re in a position to buy direct from any author or artist, we make more money AND receive it faster. It’s that simple.
For example, if you read Queen’s Purge by using Kindle Unlimited, I’ll make about $2.00. I’ll receive that money in two months.
If you buy it from Amazon at $5.99, I’ll make about $4.00. In two months.
If you buy it from me at $5.00, I’ll make… $5.00 and I’ll receive those funds in 2 DAYS.
Okay, not exactly, because I have to pay for my website, shop, distribution through BookFunnel, etc. but still that’s money in my pocket. AND I don’t have to wait 60 days to receive the royalties. I pay for my website and shop anyway, and I use BookFunnel for other things as well (ARC team, Patreon downloads).
PLUS, if you buy paperback or hardcover books, not only are they SIGNED but I ALWAYS add goodies, depending on what I have in stock and which series it is. Stickers. Bookmarks. I also include a handwritten note.
For larger orders, I try to throw in a free book, again depending on what I have and which series you bought. Maybe it’s the first in a different series. Or Queen Takes Blood or Game of Queens, both containing prequel stories. If I have them for the books you buy, I also include the character cards at no extra cost.
So thank you for any orders you make here. Read more books!
Long live House Isador!
