I like for people to know that I write.



But I would also like to get paid for the effort.



You tell me how to do both and I'll go with it.

First you give away some stuff for free and become well known, then you create bonus content for which people will have to pay.

Stuff like deleted chapters, ideas, doodles and the free things all bound in a nice cover.

I've been giving away stuff for a dozen years. And at one point, 50,000 people a month were reading it.



Now that there is published content I get oh, that's nice.

All about public image these days, and the amount of teenage girls you can get to like your books.
