I have a similar story, but am happy to say I earn more in a month now than I ever did in a year with the one of the big 6. I am happy I never gave up writing. I have finally hit bestseller lists including The Wall Street Journal. Demon or not, I am in on publishing with KDP.

My co-writer and I are aiming to be right beside you in that Parisian bar working on our next book!<br />I was published by Penguin and humiliated too. Plus I don't trust their sales figures - how can I prove or disprove them?
