   I received an e-mail from one of my favorite authors, Jeremy Bishop (AKA Jeremy Robinson) that he is going to wrap up all his series books in the near future due to the slow down in people buying his books. He has an editorial staff, a review staff, and he prints and distributes his books by himself. After a review of the income, expenses, and overhead to produce his books, he discovered that he lost money on each book that he sold. So, he will be changing his writings of his former series and will be producing only full length novels. If you are a follower of his books, buy them now as I am sure they will go up in price over the years as new people discover his books.
