[QUOTE="CowboyBlue, post: 1693290, member: 16878"] Money?? Ha! Oh, no, not at all. I have made enough money to take SweetPea out to a nice dinner a few times, but that is all. I am not very adept at advertising, and I am afraid that my book has a limited audience. Most mystery-thriller books these days have a lot of violence, sex, and/or violent sex to appeal to our more salacious natures. I don't think I could write that kind of stuff in good conscience, so I made the decision to keep it clean and not worry about sales. Don't get me wrong. It would be nice if my stories brought in enough money to pay for a new squeeze chute, a new cattle trailer and the clearing of another pasture for more grazing. But I am happy that I got to take SweetPea to dinner. Now, should Netflix come calling ... I would probably employ an agent to negotiate a little bit better deal for me than what I might negotiate for myself. But a more likely scenario would have the Hallmark Channel come calling. :) [/QUOTE]
