Financial ups and downs

Henry Gee is pleased at the sales of his novel By The Sea. He writes that  "lulu has sent me my first tranche of revenue, a thrilling £6.27, based on my first ten sales. As befits this truly twenty-first century publishing enterprise, the money sailed my way by PayPal." Well done, Henry – well on his way to his first million.

Henry's raking it in, but for those worried about the world situation, help is at hand. From The Great Beyond: "Nothing is immune from the current financial crisis / credit crunch / liquidity meltdown / world doom. Even Nature News is not immune, as we’ve just launched our ‘Finance in crisis’ specials page." In The Great Beyond's 'financial doom' round-up, find summaries of what the world's media is saying about forest finance, food finance and university finance.
