Loose Id Closing (Patreon)

And this is the part of publishing that sucks.  Seriously sucks.  I make most of my money off my backlist--off people finding older books and buying them. New releases give me a boost, but that's a small part of my income.  And with Loose Id closing, that takes out my Claimings series and my Aberrant Magic series.  No more backlist sales. No more people finding the first book and buying three more.  Well, Claimings never sold that well after the first one, but Aberrant Magic has.  And now all those books will vanish in May, and I don't know if I can find a new home for them.  Dreamspinner has already turned down Claimings, and I hate self publishing through Smashwords or Amazon because other authors have struggled so badly.  I just want to write.  That's it.  I don't want to publish and be the accountant and write complaints when Amazon illegally gives my work away.  I just want to write, and sometimes I feel like that's the one thing I'm never allowed to do.  This is so damn hard.  So very, very hard.  I'm going to go have a glass of wine and binge-watch Supernatural.
