In these days of instant information access, the old idea that authors might, if they are lucky, get an obscure and hard-to-understand royalties statement once every six months is increasingly outdated. I was pleased to see via Nicola Griffith that Random House has jumped into the 21st Century with a very nice looking author portal system.

Of course now people will be expecting the same sort of thing from Wizard’s Tower, which means I have to write it. That may take a while.
