This is where I stand.
A few days ago I posted an email I recieved from a REAL author, dismissing me and my work as a writer. And though some of you asked, I won't name names--it's just not Canadian, or who I am---but let's just say that if you read spec fic it's probably someone you know.
I, personally, have never met this person, which begs the question, "How the hell have they heard of me?"
Regardless. I plan to write. I plan to write more. I plan to publish--and probably self-publish at that because that seems to be my lot in life.
If you'd like to help, buy my books, leave a review, and tell people about them. As an indie author (that's pretentious snob speak for self-published) word of mouth is about the only publicity I'm liable to get. There are no book signings or convention panels in my future.
If you don't want to help, well that's fine, too. My books get written either way. And regardless whether you're inclined to help me or not, if you're an author--self-published or otherwise--I'll do what I can to help you. Because that's who I am, REAL author or not.
