Unbound/Boundless owes me $15k+ on a book that in its first royalty reporting cycle had sold around 3k copies of its 5k copy print run
of which I have not seen a single penny. They also haven’t even reimbursed me for postage costs I incurred mailing out the arcs in the US at their request

I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone.

Authors published by the crowdfunding publisher Unbound will not receive historic royalty payments for sales of their books, unless Boundless, the new publisher founded following Unbound going into administration, "survives and thrives" 👇 #BookSky
Unbound authors will not receive unpaid royalty payments until new publisher Boundless 'is cash stable'

Signal boosting.
I found my books in the LibGen database. This is the link I used: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
(BTW if you support piracy don't bother commenting, just take yourself elsewhere.)

I'm close to burn out so I'm taking a mini-sabbatical from social media. Deleting apps from my phone & limiting myself to desktop sites, as well as removing all pressure on myself to post.
You might see me a bit, or I might go dark. Either way, I'm fine--just re-aligning myself. 🖤

#HappyValentinesDay everyone! I hope your day is full of love, laughter, and whatever type of book you like best.
Today Mr. Katje took me to De Dutch Pannekoek House, which I hadn't had in over 15 years. It was amazing. 😍

Never ceases to amaze me how many editors think negging authors online is going to get them clients.
Generally speaking...treating potential clients like shit won't get them to hire you. Unless you're a professional Dom specializing in degradation/humiliation. Then maybe.

My last post here was about Imbolc and spring being here.
We then had snow, and have continued to have below freezing temperatures since.
Well-played, Cailleach. Well-played.

I was complaining to my husband that I haven't written enough this week so he said I wasn't allowed to go on social media until after I wrote every day and I am very unhappy to inform you that this, in fact, does work, and I am much more productive now.

It feels so good to win but also I'm sort of wondering if they turned on that particle collider again or something and this is parallel universe Canucks because 2 wins back to back? Whaaaaat?

Wooo Chaos Giraffe!!!
This score is making me so happy but we have less than 2 minutes in the period so the dread is real (even though I already know the outcome). Let's be real, I don't think the dread ever leaves if you're a Canucks fan.

Every time I see a post disparaging third person it only fuels my commitment. I'm going to third person my books even harder now. Oh, I thought I might do one in 1st? Nope. Only 3rd. 3rd forever. You will pry this POV from my cold, dead hands.

Sometimes when I don't reply it's because I've typed and re-typed an answer several hundred times trying to make sure my tone is coming across correctly and finally just give up because I'm so tired.

Okay the Caps goalie deserves headtaps for that save even if we (somehow) managed to win; that was incredible. Be sure to pet your goalie, Caps.
