I got this as a reply to someone posting that they bought a copy...

Sorry to disappoint (???!!) but even with an advance from the publisher I made less than minimum wage writing (not to mention researching and editing it). It hasn't made the advance back yet and probably never will

As with many creative pursuits I wrote it because I couldn't imagine it not existing

Living off the sales lmao

Sorry, I try to keep things upbeat on social media but dang, y’all. It’s a very tough time for creative work and creative workers. Thanks for all the kind messages
