Why should I buy direct from the author?

When I published my first book in January 2020, someone at work laughed and asked me when I was going to quit my job. 

There's this perception out there that authors are wealthy people. And I'm sure the big names (e.g. Richard Osman, Stephen King, John Scalzi, etc.) are doing just fine.

But it's not like that for indie authors. It's tough out there. There are great, amazing things about being an indie author. But most of us aren't making bank.

You know who is making money out of books? Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.

You may have noticed a move in recent years of indie authors selling their books directly to you. There's a reason for that. 

If you buy a book for 0.99 from Amazon, the author gets to keep maybe 0.26 of that. Maybe. It depends on the file size. And they won't even get that for around 3 months. But if you buy a book from an author for 0.99, the author gets to keep around 0.83. And we get that money within days.

Because that first book I mentioned? Four years later, it hasn't come close to paying for itself. 

If you can't buy direct, libraries are a great way to get books for free while still helping authors get their fair share. 

What's the deal with audiobooks?

This book is available as an audiobook. But if you're in the UK, then for tax reasons, I have to sell audiobooks via a different host. You can get it below.

This time, the universe puts the cat in catastrophe…

Lem is adapting to her new home aboard a strange spaceship in an even stranger universe, where the misfit crew of the Teapot have more than enough trouble on their hands running their interplanetary charter service. But when they accept an urgent assignment, they have just one week to save a race of cat-people from certain destruction

Stuck with a disaster-platypus of a project manager and a population seemingly determined to thwart their own rescue, the Teapotters face the impossible job of herding cats and evacuating the planet before it’s blown to smithereens..

Can Lem and the gang avert disaster and save this race of infuriating cat-people?

Judgement Dave is the second book in the Starship Teapot series – perfect for fans of wacky and imaginative sci-fi stories, this satirical space opera is a ridiculous adventure that will delight readers of John Scalzi's take on Fuzzy Nation or TJ Berry's Space Unicorn Blues.

How do you feel about cats?

"Herding cats" is referred to several times in "Judgement Dave", and very aptly. Lem, Spock, Bexley, Aurora, BB and Henry find themselves on a mission to get inhabitants to safety before a meteor strikes the planet. The inhabitants who hired them, however, behave in ways that help you understand where the cat phrase comes from. I love the characters. I love the story line. I love reading our current experiences into the story of a team of all types of species and bodily forms and gender and no gender and differing types of mobility and language. All extremely lovable while also fully themselves. I can't wait to continue the adventures of the pink teapot and its denizens.
