This series is about following rules. I know that Indies don’t have to follow
rules. That’s the whole point of being indie. But indies who pay attention to
what rich and famous authors do, have a much better shot at fame and riches.*
Very
few authors have a series of reader-satisfying books burning a hole in their
pockets. These books have to be written and released successfully for the
empire to be built. This is a particularly poignant article for me to write. I
need to launch a new series. The series that has formed the foundation of my
indie success has been completed.
No new books are coming for it, and it has been around long enough now--almost
7 years since book 1 released!—that it has reached market saturation. So
everything I write in this post is also for me. A prod to both do the job, and
do it right.
