Why write a Sequel for a book which never sold?

 Perils of an Indie Writer


The title may appear as impossible, yet, I was asked to write two sequels to short stories I wrote that according to my records never sold, how?

I puzzled over the request for years, why would I write a sequel for a story which had not sold?

The answer is eBook piracy disguised under the title of Lending Libraries. The theory behind LL is that the reader pays the library for the story, the library pays the distributor, but who paid the writer? Nobody, the writer gets paid after a certain number of sales, but that number is not stated, and if it was as an Indie Writer we'd never reach it.
