Hi David.

Wow! I didn't realize you actually paid us to read it. *gdr*

< rof,l > and < lol >!!!!!

I will - just as soon as someone pays me more than 40 cents an hour to write it < g >.

Andy and I took a full 6 months off from work to write MegaFox because trying to work full time when we were writing KiloFox was just too damn hard - work from 9 to 5 and then come home and write until 11. We had no life.

KiloFox sold pretty well and continues to sell - some months we sell more copies of KiloFox than we do of MegaFox.

Personally, I am surprised at how slow sales have been for MegaFox. My total royalties amount to less than $2500. 2500 for 6 months of work - you do the math < s >. MegaFox has sold only around 700 copies since it has been published. Compare that to around 3000 for KiloFox. I totally understand why Whil does not want to publish any new VFP books. I, for one, certainly do not want to write another (even though the money is not the primary motivation. The number of copies that sell is an indicator of the value of my work. MegaFox has certainly been a disappointment from that persepctive)
