I think a lot of us never knew about how this Co. does their thing. Good stuff. <br /><br />Now, whew! I'm glad I can come out hiding since it seems everyone wants to continue your wonderful S & S series. I hope you are able to continue and not get TOO overwhelmed.Pamela Courtneyhttp://mylmnopreadstokids.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-29108797650622467812012-08-20T16:57:33.518-04:002012-08-20T16:57:33.518-04:00Thanks, Penny!

So I got a one time fee for the audio rights and since the paperback and CD sell together I get a royalty based on the package. If that makes sense... :)Susanna Leonard Hillhttp://susannahill.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-20011174375260678192012-08-20T15:53:14.562-04:002012-08-20T15:53:14.562-04:00What a great question!

Yippee for you.<br /><br />And thanks to Stacy for that question. I wondered about that myself. <br /><br />Now on to the business at hand. (I've always wanted to say that.) I love S&S, even though I am not good at instantaneous prompts. *sigh* I have learned some stuff though. I am trying to get better from this sickness so I can do some book reviews and posts for my blog. Plus, homeschool starts in two weeks. And of course, Mr. Ed. He's right out my window. He knows I have apples. ;-) But I would love more S&S. Oh Susanna is near and dear to my heart. So we have to keep it too. So much to do. I want you to write also. That comes first. Never forget that. Back to bed. I might call about a doctors appt. But I don't like going where the sick folks are. ;-)Robyn Campbellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-61641792925198146162012-08-20T10:10:55.492-04:002012-08-20T10:10:55.492-04:00Congrats, Dana!

I don't want to lose Oh Susanna! because I sure learn from it, also. Alternating sounds like a good idea. Speaking of Oh Susanna!, I had no idea about the Scholastic thing!
