The New York Times ran a story in Saturday's edition concerning the recent Blushing Books scandal.
Like the Ellora's Cave saga six years ago, Blushing Books ran into fiscal problems with the rapid turn of writers to indie publishing. There's also questions of altered and unfair contracts.
Folks, no matter how charming someone is, check their background before you do business with them. I see too many writers getting themselves into bed with unscrupulous people just to get the feeling of being validated, the feeling of being "the chosen one".
As a result, writers lose money and worse, the rights to their intellectual property.
Look, I know it's scary to do your own publishing. However, no one can tell you you're good enough, EXCEPT YOU.
Trust in yourself. Trust your talent. Trust your stories. There's an audience out there for your books.
