Lol, Hrugaar!

And we all look for clues, pathetic creatures that we are...

I have to look for clues as to how well (or badly) I’m selling because my publisher and agent forget to tell me. Then again, maybe their silence speaks volumes. 😮

Great news about the Russian deal. :o) Smell Evil is such a cool name, wonder what they’ll call the next one – Evil Spawn?

Yeah, I do know about that sort of thing. My “On publication” payment for The Tainted in USA is now more than a year late.

Yes, but I've often got my on-signing advance for a foreign contract months or up to a year after I've signed the contract in question. That's hardly "up front", as it were.

Either way, it WAS great news, and congratulations!

Hey, that’s what advances are, Anghara! Actually, I don’t imagine that translaters get paid completely until they finish the translation, but they do/should get paid before publication…

"The publisher has to pay the translator up front..."

Growl.

Nobody worries about paying the WRITERS up front.

Growl.
