I use authors and editors before releasing mine. As to books in print, there are a lot of people who like the feel of a book in their hands. That's why mine are available in both print AND ebook! Enjoy :)<br /><br />@Thanks, Alyssa!<br /><br />@Catherine Lee Lust on the Rocks does throw in the spice--as if you couldn't imagine as much by the title. :)<br /><br />And in my garden we currently have sweet onions, scallions, shallots, garlic, cabbage, broccoli, peas, lettuce, spinach, Swiss Chard and now potatoes -- woo-hoo! <br /><br />But in the coming weeks we'll be adding corn, beans, tomatoes, squash/zucchini, peppers, cucumbers and more!

But in this case, mixing, genres that is, is a good thing. Other authors have discussed this same problem...the big houses don't want to touch it because they can't pigeonhole the genre. That's where tagging comes in handy.<br /><br />Other, well-established authors are now turning to self-publishing for a lot of reasons but most say they have more creative control, can publish books on their timetable, and income enhancement. <br /><br />There's a lot to be said in favor of self-publishing but there are 2 things I don't like about it: some authors publish without having a critque partner read their work and don't have good editing. Like that dog-in-the-drawer manuscript most authors have...some authors like their dogs and in spite of the many rejections, will self-publish even though it should never see the light of day! Woo to the unsuspecting reader who purchases this book. Finally, most self-published books are ebooks. That's fine, but right now, I'm a die-hard print book reader. I don't have an ereader yet, but soon plan to buy a Kindle Fire.<br /><br />I'll stop for now. Gotta save some of my thoughts for the remaining two weeks of your tour!
