I just try to write entertaining books that are easily identifiable.
When a single author uploading his own books to Amazon can earn more money than a large N.Y. publisher exploiting both print and e-rights, there's something amiss.
E-books are preferable to paper; they can be delivered instantly. In many cases, they're cheaper; you can buy them with the press of a button.
It's easier to release an ebook than a print book.
I've been saying for years that readers want inexpensive ebooks.
Together, Amazon and I are giving readers what they want - inexpensive, professional ebooks.
No one was interested in picking up a midlist series, even though I have a decent fanbase and respectable numbers.
I love bookstores and booksellers. In my novel 'Dirty Martini,' I thanked over 3,000 booksellers by name in the back matter.
A company doesn't have to compete with Amazon. A company can instead innovate in sectors Amazon doesn't presently care about.
My Kindle readers have been incredibly faithful fans.
I doubt I'll ever have another traditional print deal.
