I celebrate the brothermans entire catalog. Jim Steinmann also wrote the music for streets of fire. I didn't even know going in but his style is unmistakable

This is fantastic work, brotherman. He's always careful to be vague about his book earnings, but here's some real evidence that his books sell for shit.

For fun, note that at $20 a pop, $4,500 is only 225 copies. $10 a pop is still only 450 copies. Granted, the publisher needs to recoup all publishing expenses, so he probably needs to generate a bit more than $4,500 to "earn out", but you can do the math that even if it needed to generate double the advance to "earn out" and start turning a profit, he's still under 1,000 copies over 2+ years. And bear in mind that this is his best selling book.

He's a pauper.
All royalties that would go to the author will go to the publisher until the book advance is covered, i.e. the book earns out. So if Pat earned out on a $4,500 book advance, that means he sold enough books to earn that much in royalties, which is only a fraction of the total revenue generated by book sales.

Pat said that he makes $0.37 per book:


So it would take over 12000 sales at that rate. I'm skeptical that he actually earned out, since that number is so far off of the sales numbers the KF guy posted.

I'm also skeptical about the timing of the "I earned out" tweets. They both came a little less than two years after the book releases for his first two books. I suspect that he had a personal goal of earning out within two years because he set that as a benchmark, and when he saw that he wasn't going to come close, he just decided to lie about it like the fraud that he is.
