Smutlancer Monthly Income Report: April 2019

April was the most relaxing month I’ve had all year. I began 2019 with big projects and then moved right into focusing on Eroticon. After getting back from London, John Brownstone and I turned our attention to getting ready to sell our condo and move at the end of May.
