All in all, it’s been the best thing ever for us self-published “indie” authors. Quality will out. Thousands of badly written novels are just dead wood or electrons, going nowhere. It also helps to have a rather unique “niche” that is not the flavor of the month. Can you just imagine how many badly written vampire/fantasy novels are uploaded to Kindle every day?

This forum called Kindleboards has been a tremendous resource for me. I usually hang out in the Writer’s Cafe. You can learn ANYTHING about ebooks at KB. ANYTHING. It’s just....terrific. And I don’t throw praise around much.

I actually spend to much time there! Great board. And I do have an idea of how much badly written vampire porn is on the Kindle (unfortunately). But I have heard a lot of the traditional publishers say they are afraid that the indie e books are going to end the big 6 publishers.

Quality will shine through. On of my current favorite authors goes by Vaughn Heppner, and spent many years trying the traditional route till e publishing. His topics would never be touched by a traditional house, similar to yours.
