I did the estimates in a previous post somewhere.
It is likely he did get his 100k for the three TOR books($30-40k per book), bare in mind that he had just published a trilogy (likely 3x $6k) and first years sales for the AR stuff wasn't bad (his first book still makes up nearly half of total sales) so royalties are prob a few grand in total max. add in audiobook stuff and he hits about ~$150k (minus agent fee's ~$15k) over his 8 year 'career' earnings averaged out to about $17k a year.
Not a bad gig if you turned them out every three years, sold out your advance so you gather royalties etc.
So far Pat is 3 years behind focusing on some TinyTim fanfic and royalties on previous sales might cover a meatloaf.
Pretty sure October is when he gets his royalties.
I bet kids out trick or treating get more.
