So if you follow me you know that I've started advertising for Twisted Redemption again. You might be wondering why. When I had posted about my own personal issues with Ellora's Cave, I hadn't received any check, nor any statements. The book came out in July and I knew that I had made a few sales at least in release month. My check finally came in December, it was more than I anticipated (though not huge), a second check came a couple weeks later, smaller. One of my partners in crime received all hers, plus a check for September. I did not. Why? My guess is because I didn't make any sales.

You see, I decided to look at this a different way. I can't complain about checks not showing up if money is not due to me. (not to say I make a habit of complaining.) I've really taken a hard look at what I want out of my writing life and career and it's to make a living. I'm not greedy, but I can't make money from a book I don't promote. My opinion about EC doesn't hold any weight if I don't try to make the sales to get the checks that may or may not come. So, I decided to treat Twisted Redemption like I would any of my indie titles, and put it in my rotation of marketing. The readers can make the choice on if they want to purchase and EC book or not. The only way I'm going to see if getting checks will be a constant thing is to make sales. That being said, I will not be turning over anymore of my works to EC because of how they treat this whole situation.
