Ghost Money

I realize I have given away all my copies of the books I have written, and since my publisher has vanished or something, it puts me in the funny position of contemplating buying copies of my OWN BOOKS! And those books are TERRIBLE! The super funny part is that I won't even get the royalties, because MY PUBLISHER HAS SEEMINGLY VANISHED. The royalties go to royalty heaven, I think. I think they are ghost money. I believe that's how that works.
