The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow: My overdue royalty check from 2018 owed by the publisher of my Contemporary (2016). Even after their cut, the pennies I’ve earned for each $3.95 eBook sale on Amazon have accumulated to a substantial amount.

The fight for glory—monetary entitlement.

I’ve scheduled a phone conference on Thursday afternoon, where I intend to press for definitive answers not forthcoming in a recent runaround email exchange. While on point, I’ll be sure to ask when I can expect my 2019 royalty statement.

I am looking forward to 2021 when my 5-year contract with them expires. Eight years prior to 2016, I had walked away from social media due to time-consuming and exhausting obligations. I had also put my writing endeavors on hold until a spirited revival. During my self-imposed exile, I was ignorant to the viable self-publishing options for Indies.

Consequently, I’d wizened up of for the subsequent publications of: 100 Wild Mushrooms: Memoirs of the ‘60s (2017); Mr. Wizardo (2019).

Calling attention to one’s books and procuring each sale takes time and ingenuity on a daily basis. That’s not a complaint. It’s what I choose to do for exposing my work to potential readers.

Like everyone else who works hard in their chosen field, I expect to be paid without fighting for what’s mine.

At a future date, I’ll compose a follow-up blog on this issue, which I hope has a favorable resolution.
