I of course hope Sprite is right, too, but, if I'm doing the math right (always a chancy bet), we get 25% of cover on a $15 book, or $3.75 each. So, we'd have to sell on the order of 5,333 eARCs to earn out our advance. We know we sold 447 eARCS of Dragon in Exile, and I suspect that Belle is correct in doubting that we can break 500 for Alliance, but that's looking like a Far More Reasonable Number to me.
