Yep, I’m sure that’s the way it will be explained. And that explanation will fly. It’s the perfect cover for a bribe.
Yep. A publisher can advance an author any amount of money it wishes to. If it doesn't make that back in sales, too bad so sad. It's a perfect cover for bribery and it's completely legal.
