I’ve decided to take the plunge and do some self-publishing with some of my work (don’t worry, interested agents — not The Tyrant Stratagem). I suppose I’ll try Kindle, Nook, and a few others. Where this road will take me, I cannot say, but here’s what ultimately led me to the decision to at least test these waters:

1) Traditional publishing alone is not moving my writing career fast enough along in comparison to the amount of time I put in writing (at least, not yet).
2) My fiction that magazines, podcasts, and other markets have allowed to be given a chance have been met by the general public with overwhelming positive feedback, and a few awards nominations. So why wouldn’t I chance exposing some of my fiction to the public at large and see how it does?
3) If there is indeed a sea change in publishing, whether we are watching it now or later, I want to be on the right side of it.
4) I believe my fiction is strong enough to compete, and perhaps even claw its way to the top.

More information is on the way. Stay tuned.
