For a long time, I was very resistant to the idea of online publication or even e-books or something like that.

I've got five or six unpublished stories kicking around looking for somebody to buy them.

I continue to enjoy looking for stories, and trying to do the best job I can reporting and writing them.

At first my publisher had reservations about publishing it in the form you are familiar with.

Probably not needing to be published would give me more time to think about a book.

I'll have to self-publish it because unless you're on the 'New York Times' bestseller lists, anthologies don't sell all that well. However, low sales to a big publisher are a major success to a small one!

I got a couple of stories published, but the kind of money you were making for publishing a short story, I could see I wasn't going to make a living at it.

Digital-Original publishing embraces the non-conventional and genre-busting story. It allows me to share good stories with readers who will enjoy them, and at a reasonable price.

Forget market or publishers or whatever. Just write with fire and joy, and in my own experience, those are the stories of mine people have wanted to read.

I started blogging in 2006 when I had sold my first novel but it had not yet been published, in those anxious months in between while I learned the whole process.
