Self Published Authors To Know by Lori Brighton<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In this episode of self-published authors to know, I\u2019m going to introduce you to someone I\u2019m rather well acquainted with\u2026. Me!<\/em><\/strong> Please hold your applause until the end. Thank you.<\/p>\n

For seven years I tried to get published with a New York Publisher. Self-publishing at that time was unheard of, for it meant spending your own money to get your book printed. A couple years ago I finally got a N.Y. deal; two books. With that deal I was able to land an agent. \u00a0But getting that N.Y. deal wasn\u2019t as great as I thought it would be. The waiting was ridiculously long, the pay was (to put it bluntly) crap, and I had little control over my book and career. To make it worse, things with my agent started heading south, so I let her go. But hey, I was a published author. Not only would I get another agent, but also another contract! Yeah, not so much.<\/p>\n

When my New York contract was finished, I tried to sell a contemporary paranormal. No one wanted it. I was rather depressed, thinking I was going to have to start over. Then a friend told me about the new self-publishing\u2026 self-publishing Ebooks. The cost is nothing for the author and the percentage an author receives for sales is ridiculously high compared to N.Y.<\/p>\n

I had that contemporary book just sitting on my computer, so I figured why not try self-publishing Ebooks? Just recently I posted my third self-published book and honestly, I don\u2019t see sending to N.Y. for a long while, if ever.<\/p>\n

Interested in the books I\u2019ve self-published? Read the blurbs below!<\/p>\n

As a fallen angel destined for a life of servitude, Cristian Lucius is relegated to protecting earth from unwanted spirits. But he can\u2019t accomplish this daunting task alone.

If they don\u2019t work together, they won\u2019t have a chance in hell of defeating the demon threatening their lives. The problem is getting Ashley to trust him. No easy task, considering Cristian is the very man responsible for her father\u2019s disappearance.<\/em>
