He had been completely unaware that his short manuscript, titled 'Jonathon Livingstone Seagull', had become a runaway best-seller.

Within a few years he was broke, and Withrepparttar 129431 IRS hounding him for unpaid taxes he was forced to declare himself bankrupt. He signed away all future earnings from 'Jonathon Livingstone Seagull' torepparttar 129432 government, as well asrepparttar 129433 rights to any future books he might write, and beganrepparttar 129434 arduous task of rebuilding his life.

But there was a happy ending: he sacked his financial advisor and wrote a string of new books that were also best-sellers: within a few years he was solvent again and able to buy backrepparttar 129435 rights to all his books.
