A "Wave and Beaches" type book specifically for kayakers. I need to send him some material -- thanks for the indirect reminder.

Matt asks: <snip> <<<Okay PW's guessing game time. Let's hear some guesses as to how much money I have earned in royalties and advances (before taxes) for "Deep Trouble" over the last 3 years since it came out (Note: I get about 60% of the royalties on that book).>>> Well, you usually get an advance in the range of $1000.00 (US). You have probably already spent that on six-packs of beer getting over the hassle of writing the book (edit wars with Chris, time-loss from other tasks, etc). I doubt very much you have made much past that. At $1.00 a copy once past the $1,000.00, you should only now just be able to start buying eight-packs of beer. Of course, your beer down there isn't taxed to death like in Canada. I say that's around the equivalent of one years worth of six-packs twice a month. So, how about $1,100.00 total to date? Heck, I'd write for bear money :-) BC'in Ya Doug Lloyd *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
