I’m going rogue!

Well, it’s official. I’m no longer under contract with a publishing company. I’m going rogue!

From now on, all of my titles will be self-published.

What exactly does that mean? For one thing, cheaper books for you!

You see, the publishing world is evolving. Amazon (and their subsidiary company CreateSpace) provides all the tools I need to become my own publisher. I can format them for Smashwords and get into all the same distribution channels as a traditional publishing company. In fact, I’ve done that already with a book of short stories entitled Stories for Halloween Night. And I have full control of quality, distribution, price-point… the works.

Self-published books are cheap. A self-published book in print is 50% – 75% lower than the cost of a traditionally published book. An e-book is usually priced between $0.00 – $2.99. That’s better for the consumer!

So this author doesn’t see a “down side” to his decision to become independent. I’ll still write good stories and I’ll produce quality books for the buyer. But they’ll be cheaper and they’ll be exactly the vision I have for the reader.

So here’s to going rogue… it’s about time!
