I just wanted to say THANKS! I read your advice about going through the self-publishing route. I will admit that sometimes computers work with me the same as they do with Harry. Or, I'm a bit dim. ;) (You can decide). I never did get the whole Kindle process working.
But, that said, there was a lot of useful information in the whole self-publishing aspects. The doctor said my eyesight should restore itself, eventually, after reading through all the legalese.
In the end, I went with Smashwords. I got two books up and running as of yesterday and I've already gotten a few sales. So, um, I guess I'm an professional author. Gah, what a thought. But, there was an unsuspecting populations lying there and I just pounced.
Anyway, thanks for the advice. I just wanted you to know it was both useful and appreciated.

Just an update. We've started using e-pub files for uploading to amazon for the formatting issues and it now takes me about 15 minutes to upload the text and image files and fill in all the keywords, title spaces, price, etc on my books.
I'm up to 5 novels and 2 novellas. With hopefully another novel out end of this month, beginning of next!

Whithout getting into much detail, what sort of income are you seeing from your novels?

I made about 10k off of my first two books during last year. Because of pricing I made 6/7th's of that from book 2.
About a 5 grand spike over the first two-2.5 months and then its down to residuals on the ongoing series. Everything in the series is pumped up when a new book comes out. It can die down to one or two books a day when nothing fresh in the series has come out in a few months but launch a new one and everything pumps up. 5+ sales per day. I've had as high as 9-13 a day per back listed book for a month and then its the slow couple month decline down to nothing again whereupon everything bumps back with the next new release.
However my new fantasy book never got over 20's a day for sales. So it really all depends on your reader base.
