I make most from hardcover; then e-books; then trade paperback; then audio; and the least from large print. Some other publishers give very poor e-book royalties. But really, read the way you most enjoy. We make nothing at all from the sale of used books or lending between friends. We like to see our books in libraries because libraries pay and in Canada we get a small bit from having our books in libraries.Vicki Delanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106480550553972177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-27095976445515772172012-08-24T21:53:04.290-04:002012-08-24T21:53:04.290-04:00Hooray, I found your books on Audible.

I clicked the link on your website and looked at the bookstores like The World's Biggest Bookstore and Indigo in Eaton Centre. I visited both of them when I was in Toronto. Of course I liked the big one best and stayed there awhile. I bought books about Canada, one about Niagara Falls, and others about various provinces. They have lots of pictures in them.<br /><br />Speaking of wars, The Battle of Lake Erie with Oliver Hazard Perry took place near Put-in-Bay, about an hour or so from where I live. I guess it was the British vs. the Americans.<br /><br />The captcha codes are a little easier to read if you move a little bit back from the screen.Michelle Fidlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10285519745590239008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-25400419452234777172012-08-24T14:37:30.280-04:002012-08-24T14:37:30.280-04:00P.S.

I was leaning toward the 1898 Gold Rush, when you intrigued me by Prince Edward County settled by British Loyalists after the Revolution. I like any place with a strong tie to history, but maybe because my husband's family immigrated from Montreal in the 1700s down through Wisconsin, I find Canadian history even more fascinating.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Jan Broganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11323983086318138814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-32844104376121565032012-08-24T10:12:00.617-04:002012-08-24T10:12:00.617-04:00So right Linda.

This stand-alone sounds intriguing, so I'll have to put it on my list ASAP.<br /><br />I ran into one good reason for fictionalizing location with my first book. I created the small town where most of the action took place, but used real locations for any forays into Kansas City. By the time the book was published, one location mentioned had been torn down and another business had closed down. So no matter how we try to be totally accurate to place, it's always changing during the slow publication process.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-8364349441706413712012-08-24T09:52:22.709-04:002012-08-24T09:52:22.709-04:00See you down in the root cellar, Edith.
