I currently have 8 published titles.  2 via a publishers and 6
published myself.  I have 3 more titles coming out this year, two of
them should be available before the end of February.

You have how many?

Doug has now many?

When that number is higher than zero, then, and only then, will you

which, coincidentally, no publisher is under ANY obligation to do.
