This one....
I stream on Twitch, YouTube, FaceBook, and Twitter. I have no pre-planned schedule for which site I will go live on. I do NOT multi-stream on multiple sites at once, so if I am live on one, I am not live on the other 3. (The FaceBook one will say "Video Unavailable" when not live.)
NOTE: Chat is set to emote only on my Twitch channel and my personal contact information has been removed from my website and every place else, due to the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of false reports of "information", along with vile hateful memes about the murder of my family being sent to me by trolls who think mocking the murder of my family is funny.
FBI Agent Andy Drewer out of the Portland, Maine FBI office is in charge of the of the April 10, 2015 kidnapping of my 12 children by 14 Ku Klux Klan men who invaded our home and the subsequent May 15, 2015 murder of 10 of the 12 whom had their heads nailed to my front door. If you have information about the case, give it to him not me. He can be reached @ +1-(207)-774-9322
Vanilla Avallac'h vs Modded Avallac'h
If you are Mormon, Mason, Jewish, or Zoroastrian, take a close look at his gambeson and see what you see. If you are Mormon, Mason, Jewish, or Zoroastrian, you'll see it and you'll know exactly what it means. On the other hand if you are a Gentile or an Infidel, you won't have a clue.
>>Both images on the left from May 2018, the 1st Avallac'h Playthrough
Vanilla Avallac'h has black hair and eyebrows turned grey, and has an appalling LOD of 5 and draw distance of 7, and has no hairworks effects, no wind effects, and while his 3d model & texture files have wrinkles, scars, bruises, bug bites, moles, and veins, you can't see them on the vanilla settings.
Also while Avallac'h's clothen had a RedCloth file, it had very low grade settings/pollies causing the details of the cloth weave, seam stitches, and embroidery to be blurry.
Vanilla Avallac'h has pupils that react to light, like all other characters in the game.
>>Both images on the right from September 15, 2020, the 3rd Avallac'h Playthrough
Modded Avallac'h has a 5,000 LOD and draw distance, resulting in wrinkles, scars, bruises, bug bites, moles, and veins on his skin can now be seen. This also revealed that he has a fine scar down the side of his nose and one over his eyebrow, both were not visible at all with the vanilla LOD settings.
Hairworks and wind effects have been added to his hair.
While we are talking about his hair... notice that he wears payot. If you don't know what payot are or why a man would have them... Google will help you. It brands him as Hasidic.
His hair and eyebrows are changed to blond (as described in the novels), his skin has been lightened several shades (again to match novel descriptions), and he has new texture files for his eyes to make them pale ice aquamarine with pink pupils, as described in the novels.
Modded Avallac'h has pupils that are frozen into tiny pinpricks and never grow or retract with light changes, matching the information we were told about him having suffered severe nerve damage which caused him to have tiny frozen pupils that did not react to light.
Because the file which changes a character's pupils, is NOT connected to their eye file, but rather is connected to their shadow file and changes not only the size and shape of pupils in different lights, it also changes the shadows on their face, and changes the intensity of their makeup.
The result of changing this file, is that shadows on Avallac'h's face are now fainter and his vanilla very dark eyeshadow is now many shades much lighter.
This results in a bright highlight on his cheekbones, making them much paler, and has caused an illusion that his cheekbones are even sharper than before, even though no change was made to his 3D model bone structure... i is simply a result of less shadow below his cheekbones with brighter highlight over them, and fewer shadows around his eyes.
I increased the depth of Avallac'h's RedCloth file (edited the 3D model to make ridged details a deeper depth) and increased settings/pollies causing the details of the cloth weave, seam stitches, and embroidery to be much sharper and more noticable, making the cloth look more real.
And speaking of the cloth looking more real... if you are a Gentile or an Infidel, you won't have a clue what it was I mentioned earlier, so let me point it out... on the beast of his gambeson, right over the nipple, there are slash marks that are stitched into a very specific pattern/design... this marks Avallac'h as a very high ranking priest, one who has access to the deepest, inner circles of the Temple, on par with The Levite in the Bible, it also tells us that he is a virgin and living celibate lifestyle because of his religious rank.
On their own, the slash marks do not identify a specific religion, but one of 5 religions. However, that, with the payot, and the fact that he covers his head when going outside, brands him as a Hasidic Jew.
We further know that in the novels, ALL Elves are Jewish, and the masque of the Elves during the Human invasion, was an outright retelling of the Holocaust, and Avallac'h spoke an ancient dialect of Hebrew and was unable to understand most Humans as he spoke none of the common tongues.
Raise your hand if you ACTUALLY KNOW what Manna is? Sephiroth? Sackcloth and ashes? Golems? The Tree of Life? The Pentagram? Tzitzit? Are you able to explain ANY of those things and what they are, when you encounter them in quests in the game?
Can you explain WHY Geralt meditates on a prayer rug facing East?
Explain to me WHY after her grandmother dies, Ciri shreds her cloths, starts wearing sackcloth, and rolls her golden blond hair in ashes to turn it into dreadlocks, resulting her becoming known as "the ashen haired maid"?
When the game shows you Avallac'h naked in Kaer Morhen, can you read the Hebrew writing tattoo across his chest and abdomen? Do you know what the symbols on his tattoos mean?
After having watched more than 5,000 playthroughs of Witcher 3 on Twitch, I'm continually amazed at how few people ever recognize the plethora of openly Jewish characters and miss the HUNDREDS of Holocaust reference easter eggs that flood every segment of the game.
And now that the books are becoming popular, after 40 years of being ignored by the bulk of society... it likewise amazes me, how many people are so clueless about the Holocaust and what happened to the Jews in Poland, that they read the Witcher novels with blind eyes, and completely miss that the Gnomes and Elves are blatantly Jewish, while the Humans are blatantly Nazi, and the mass murder of millions of Jewish Gnomes and Elves at the hands of their Nazi Human invaders, is an outright retelling of the events of real world history.... of that happened just 80 years ago.
Our world is in a pitiful state if the so recent mass murder of 20 million is so easily forgotten, so soon.
If you know nothing about the Holocaust, you REALLY shouldn't play this game or read the novels it was based on, because you'll completely miss the message they send. It'll go right over your head.
Spend a year or two doing some massive research into the Holocaust, especially what happened in Poland, and THEN play the game and read the novels, and THEN remember that the author who created this: was a Polish Jew who as a small child, saw his friends and family murdered, and then you'll understand why he wrote what he wrote.

Please be aware that nearly every page on this website contains spoilers to something. I talk about a lot of fandoms, and go into great detail analyzing them when I do. If I am talking about The Witcher series, InuYasha, Disney Ducks, the Quaraun series, or any other fandom, you WILL encounter spoilers about it.
NOTE: This article was written for KBoards in 2011. This method worked at the time I was using it. However, Amazon has changed their system many times since 2011, making drastic changes to how short fiction is listed in 2015. I have not used the methods listed here since 2015.
Also, the ONLY author name linked to from this website is my EelKat penname. Please note that I have 15 pen names on Amazon and 40 pages of books published in my Kindle dashboard.
(40 pages x 10 books per page = I have almost 400 books published on Amazon across my 15 pen names.)
So if you try to check these pricing methods against my EelKat penname, you will not find many if any of my EelKat pen names using these.
I've been writing short works since 1978. All total I have 683 fiction titles and a whopping 2,000+ non-fiction titles. Needless to say this is my full-time job. Most of my stuff is priced at .99c or $2.99. But I've got all sorts of prices, with the highest being $75.
I'd recommend trying $1.49 for your non-fiction for the first few weeks (say about 4 or 5 weeks) on Kindle and see if you get an increase in sales that way. In other words change the .99c and the $2.99 ones to $1.49. For the word count range I am writing, short nonfiction (in my experience, with my own titles; side note: my titles are spread out across 15 pen names and vary from 5k words to 350k words per book - I consider "short" non-fiction to be anything under 50k words, which is 100 pages) often does better at $1.49 then it does at .99c
Actually, if it was me, here's the way I have tested the waters with new non-fiction titles of the 10k to 30k word count range (where most of my titles are):
I start out pricing them at $2.99 and leave it there for 2 or 3 weeks, and keep track of sales during that time.
Next, I change the price to .99c for another 2 or 3 weeks, and again track sales.
Then, I'll change prices to $1.49, again tracking sales for 2 or 3 weeks.
Finally, I look at each title and compare how well it did for each price range. At that point I will change the title to whatever price range it did best in (.99c, $1.49, or $2.99).
IF, the book did really well in $2.99 (say, it sold 3 copies at .99c but then sold 100 at $2.99 - big difference), I will experiment further. If a non-fic title does WAY better at $2.99 then it did at .99c, that is usually an indication I can raise the price quite a bit higher.
So, in that case, I will test prices again, this time raising it to $3.99 for a few weeks, tracking sales, then $4.99 for a few weeks, tracking sales. If sales stay steady at $4.99 (same as they were at $2.99) I continue to raise the price every 2 or 3 weeks to see how high it'll go before sales stop. Usually $4.99 is the stopping point with sales falling at $5.99, $6.99, $7.99, and $8.99, but not always.
As for fiction prices...
I price my fiction work based on word count:
My serials skew slightly lower:
My Erotica skews slightly higher:
My Monster Porn skews even higher:
I price my collections/bundles/box-sets like this:
$2.99 =
$4.99 =
$6.99 =
$8.99 =
I price my Erotica collections/bundles/box-sets like this
$2.99 =
$4.99 =
$6.99 =
$8.99 =
Now that chart is not a hard and fast rule. It's my starting point. I publish my books at those prices, and then over time raise and lower prices based on sales. I will point out that most authors baulk at my price chart as it is somewhat higher than most authors are willing to charge. Keeping in mind, that if you want more sales, you will want to price lower then I do.
I'm not interested in becoming a bestseller or a household name, so I don't do the race to the bottom to gain higher sales. A lot of authors do that and it works for them. Other authors do it and end up shooting themselves in the foot. You gotta do what works for you. Not everything works for everyone and what works for me may or may not work for you, so don't take any of this as being "the one right way" to publish or price you books and articles.
I do prefer to use $2.99+ as much as possible, because the .99c book is earning you only .35c, while at $2.99 you'll earn $2.09. Just think how much that adds up over time:
You'd have to sell 59 books at .99c to earn $20, but you only have to sell 10 at $2.99 to earn $20. It's a big difference and it adds up fast. So you can see why I prefer to price higher. The book is going to sell 10 copies regardless. I'm writing small niches that are not targeted for the mass market. So if someone wants what I write, they will pay whatever price is on it, because there simply isn't any other books out there in that genre.
This is true of all tiny niche genres.
Whereas if I wrote a "hot topic" genre, it has to compete against the millions of other titles in that genre, so your sales might be shit because you can't get higher in the search results due to all the competition. Hot topic genres HAVE to price lower in order to compete with all the other books out there in that genre, whereas small niche genres can sell for very high prices and people pay those prices, because they don't have other options, it's your book or no book. So the genre you choose is also going to affect how you price your books.
There are a lot of things to factor in, so the information I'm giving you on what I do, only truly applies to exactly what I do, and to make it work for you, you will have to make adjustments based on your genre, your word counts, and your target readers.
So for you wanting to be a travel writer, you have to look at all the other travel non-fiction out there and ask:
You'll want to ask these and more, before you get started.
There is a lot more to travel writing, then just buying an RV, traveling, and writing. You have to know your competition and know how the publishing industry works, and how to get your work published. It's a lot of work.
A LOT.
My print prices are about 3x higher then my ebook prices, and my hardcover prices are double or triple my paperback prices, with full color illustrated hardcovers going for as much as ten times that.
Plus I have one paperback that goes for $75 and a hardcover that goes for $250. Keeping in mind I ONLY write short stories and novellas, most of them under 35 print pages long.
As you can see, I price my fiction books very different then I do my non-fiction. My fiction has set prices, you know the word count based on the price and vice versa.
My non-fiction however, is priced as stated above, on a sliding scale, where I change prices and test the waters until I find the "sweet spot" for that particular title. That said my non-fiction vary from .99c to $14.99 with the bulk of it .99c, $1.49, $2.99, or $4.99.
Travel fiction alone is not going to pay your RV travel bills either. You want to get into fiction, especially Erotica, if you want to actually make enough money to pay for the HUGE gas bills that come with traveling in and RV fulltime.
As someone who writes across 30 genres (including Erotica and non-fiction) with 15 pen names, I can tell you that you are at risk of lower non-fiction sales by having "smexy cover" (people in seductive poses) Erotica on the same pen name as your non-fiction. The Erotica readers may not care, they'll keep buying your Erotica, BUT your non-fic sales will plummet, because MOST people looking to buy non-fiction don't want to browse through "smexy cover art" (Erotica) to find your non-fic books, and MOST people looking to buy Erotica, are not going to give your non-fic a second glance, unless it's non-fic of a "sexualized" nature (such as How to get laid on a first date" sort of topic).
This again is a case of personal experience, been there, done that. That's not to say you will have the same results I did, that's simply pointing out that, by separating my Erotica to a separate pen name I saw increased sales in non-fiction.
So, if you are in this to make money, I recommend, based on what I've seen in my own career, that your best bet is to either to change the covers of your Erotica to be less sexy, or divide it out to a separate pen name. Say add a middle initial to one: Jack Diamond for the non-fic and Jack A. Diamond for the Erotica. something like that, would allow you to be using "2" pen names while not actually using 2 penname...it would just put the Erotica on a separate author page, so as not to offend your non-fic buyers/browsers.
I know what I'm talking about here, because I sell Erotica and nonfiction on the same penname, and by putting "non-smexy" covers on my Erotica under that pen name (no humans on covers) sales increased to the non-fiction on that same penname. It is only because of the humanless covers on my Erotica, that I'm able to do both Erotica and non-fic on that penname.
So, it can be done, putting non-fic and Erotica under the same Author page, just know ahead of time that I think your non-fic sales will be much lower then they could be as a result. However, if you are seeing good sales all across the board on your Erotica and your non-fiction, well, then there really is no reason to change something that's not broken. So if it's working for you, to have them all under one penname, there's no reason to change them out to two.
But yeah. There's a lot to consider if you really want to make a career of traveling in your RV fulltime and writing to pay the bills. You can do it. It's just, not easy and the money is probably a lot lower then what you were expecting.
