HI Tommy: Just happens that I am alluding to book payments in my Substack I will publish later today. It goes without saying that one book deal (say mine) and differ substantially from yours, for example, in that my full payment (which was tiny, and I mean tiny) came to me in two chunks before I even received the copyedit of my manuscript. (Just received that this week, and I have a few weeks to review its pages and return my changes. But, yes, what you outlined is essentially how my first book deal worked in the 1990s. Now, I can only hope that with such a small advance, I might possibly make a few bucks from royalties. But we'll see. Anyway, it's not why I wrote my book. I am fortunate to have the funds I need to live on, so telling my story came from within.

"Fool Me Once" definitely fooled me and had me guessing...
We’ve been winding through all of the Coben collection. Safe was my favorite, with Stay Close right behind it. Enjoy!
Enjoyed the explanation of book deals. Good to know as readers who want to support writers and book sellers.
