My nom de plume is Guy Antibes. I have set up another blog for that name. It’s at www.guyantibes.com. I have since published Sword of Spells which is currently on most e-book outlets including Amazon, B&N and Apple iBook.
The site needs much work, but I’ve been able to successfully neglect that site as well. Two posts today over there and a reference from Owasm to Guy.
So I have one of my e-books up. I’ll have a middle grade novel up in a week or so and a full-size novel up before the end of the year. My goal is to have three up before Dec 30 and ten more up by the end of next year.
The anthologies I mentioned earlier are mostly written as are two of the novels for next year. I can put up the middle grade novels at a rate of about one every two months. So that is six of those, three anthologies and two novels. That makes eleven, so I have some cushion!?
It’s a goal. Don’t know if I’ll make it. So far Sword of Spells is bringing in $15o to $200 per month. Multiply that by thirteen and my take would grow to $1,950 to $2,600 per month. That’s second job territory.
The pipeline needs to be continually stoked and the quality has to go up, but that’s doable. I’d like to level off at four novels per year. But this is just the start, so we will see what happens. I may be making $150 to $200 a month with fourteen works for sale. That would be a bummer, but I’m prepared for that, too.
