I don’t want to think about my costs, they have a life of their own! You make me realise I should at least analyse them, so thx. 🙂 SD

It’s interesting to see how much is spent per book or per category and like any hobby (that could turn into a career/side-job) it will cost something. I would be interested to see where people spend money as authors, more in marketing or more in cover art, etc.
