In which we ramble on.
And by we, I mean me.

It's My Birthday!

8/11/2018

34 Comments

 
I'm turning 29 today!

To celebrate crossing half a million total sales (which happened a few months ago), we're doing something special for my birthday: I'm taking my family out to Victoria & Albert's restaurant tonight!

Also, for a truly classy celebratory experience, we went to see The Meg. No spoilers, but I went into it wanting to see Jason Statham in hand-to-hand combat with a giant shark, and my birthday wish was granted.

Thanks for reading Ghostwater!

-Will

... you're my age, almost exactly.

I need to go home and rethink my life.

Happy Birthday! I'm.....considerably older than you. Luckily I already had my break down and cry over a life not chosen when I saw "Finding Forester"....lol. So now I can just admire the hell out an incredibly talented writer, and wish him continued success.

Just so you know, you share a birthday with my sister. That is all. If only I could use that as leverage to get you to hurry up :-)

Curses, not quite enough information to steal Will's identity so I can pick up girls by pretending to be Will Wight.

Does that mean Will has made over half a million dollars? :0

Yeah but a lot of that has likely gone to certain expenses, such as artists whom draw the book covers, hateful taxes, living expenses, an funday in his basement armed with nuclear tech...etc

Probably advertising too. From what I've read, you've got to spend at least $50 per day on Amazon ads for them to be effective at keeping your rankings up.

I have to run this like a business, so the money goes into the business and then I pay myself out of that. So most of the money I make goes to expenses or taxes.
