You never earned out of your advances on your Tor deal, Patty. You get nothing. You got three bites at the apple and failed completely. Once the stock they printed is gone, they'll be OOP.
You used to earn meager checks from Angry Robot on The Ark books, probably just the first one if I had to guess based on the metrics and interest in a first time author and first in series. Last I looked into it, your retention from book 1 to book 3 sucked.
The reason being, as a small publisher they couldn't afford as much of an advance so you got there quicker. I'd bet those checks stopped coming awhile ago, or barley cover the cost of cutting the check and mailing it now.
Could you even get Etan or even Simon or Gemma on the phone now to pitch Tiny Tim's Christmas Massacre if you tried? I bet not you fucking failed hobbyist.
The goddamn nerve to hold a panel telling 3 to 5 aspiring, poorly hygeined convention goers how to be a success when you've failed so spectacularly is like a Patrick S Tomlinson parenting clinic on how to raise a daughter.
