Depending on how many books you are selling, that could entail considerable effort.
Whoever the publisher sells to doesn't matter. The author gets a % of each book sold. The author can purchase their own books to sell for any price they want. This is exactly what Bonnie is doing. The profit is well worth the extra time it takes to keep up with the orders and ship them out or she wouldn't be doing it. Doesn't matter to me it's her book and other people's money.
