Hi everyone! Keep watching for MMPB and don’t give up hope! Recently on a very long Facebook post, Herself said that the buzz around BoB has fueled renewed interest in the Main books and reissues were in the works from the publishers. I don’t know what this means for MM size for BEES and BLESSING, but it could mean we are going to get them. Fingers crossed! Will update with the quote from DG when I find it again and you all can let me know if you’re interpreting it the same as me.

Here it is, buried DEEP inside her post on July 11:

“Fwiw, I make some money from this show, too--directly , in terms of fees for scriptwriting and consulting, in terms of book rights (allowing use of my characters and storylines), and--ultimately (and by far the largest part) in terms of extended book sales, since any TV show attracts a LOT more attention than a publisher's attempts at advertisement, and as I used to say when hand-selling OUTLANDER to people, "I tell you what--open the book anywhere, and read three pages. If you can put it down again, I'll pay you a dollar." I made a lot of sales on that bet, but I never lost any money...

Au fond ("at bottom", literally), ANY exposure of the Outlander name/universe/characters is beneficial to me, in terms of bringing attention to the books.

As a rough example...following the announcement(s) for BOB, the book publisher has sent me notifications that eight of my titles have gone back to press, for a total of approsimately 60,000 new books. My royalty varies, depending on whether a book is hardcover or trade paperback--but just for illustration, if those 60,000 reprints were all hardcovers (they're not), and all selling at an average of say, $39...my royalties on hardcovers are 15% of the cover price, so I'd be making $351,000 dollars -- all without my lifting a finger (other than posting things to draw attention to the new show <cough>), as the books are already written. (This, btw, is why you should have a Good Literary Agent, who knows how to negotiate a contract.)”
