unfortunately, during that tour my submissive / lifemate / pr manager broke her arm - her elbow specifically. she being uninsured, it was three weeks before she could actually have her elbow operated on. now we have piles of medical bills. i'm in the middle of writing my next two books - a queer pulp choose your own adventure book and a textbook on game design - and we just don't have the money to make ends meet. my royalty check for zinesters doesn't even cover a month's rent.
