An author that likes Amazon

[PennLady]

With all the hullaballoo over Amazon and e-books and their fight with Hachette publishing, I found this at Slate.com and thought it was worth a read. It's by someone who publishes with Amazon and has found it to be a worthwhile endeavor.

Yep, Amazon has been a godsend for writers who want to connect with (i.e. sell to) readers. It broke the back on the mainstream publisher gate control system and opened up whole genres to access and profitability--most notably for us here, erotica and pornography.

Amazon is a way for a writer to get published NOW! I use Amazon, Smashwords and Taboo to get my books published and sold. The publisher editors don't like my stuff, but I can now sell my books to readers.
