Royalties?!

Er, we just got quite a good-sized (well it won't pay for a house, or a car, or even a substantial garden shed, but still, it seems okay to me) royalties payment. The Russian Vampuss has sold REALLY well apparently. Goodness. Hmm. Well, I am delighted but also going through my usual self-doubts. I now feel that I didn't promote it properly (hardly at all in fact) in the English version. I mean, if it can do this well in Russia. Then again, maybe it has a bit of that quirky Russian sensibility. And the "translation" (which is more of a rewrite for a Russian sense of humour) is very, very funny. Anyway, first royalties payment ever. Nice.
