As of the last two months, I am making enough to live on.  Of course, you have to factor into that the fact that I own my own house outright and I live in what others might call poverty. However, if sales continue at their present rate, I could live quite comfortably in my poverty. I haven't seen the money yet, but it is supposed to be out there . . . somewhere. Next month I get my first real cheque.

Okay, I just checked. For each of the last 8 weeks, I topped $400 -- sometimes by a fair bit, sometimes by only a little. I've put approx $300 cash into publishing and advertising--plus an unknown, but vast, number of hours writing, editing, proofing, etc. For me, this is beyond what I hoped for when I first published 360 days ago. My wildest (of the realistic nature) dreams had me envisioning $1000 per month. I can live on that. With just 3 months of good sales, I'm still fearing it'll all collapse.

Courtesan, my best selling book, has brought in $3000 give or take $30 over the last year (most of that in the last 3 months). That's probably more than I would have received as an advance these days and it's still pulling in $20+ per day.

So, if you consider the above as 'making any money off [my] novels', then the answer is yes.
