I've decided to self publish The Dark Side of Town

A forum post on Authonomy made me rethink my position on self publishing. Previously, I was of the opinion that self publishing is bad, evil, and the first step on the road to ruin. After reading the aforementioned forum post, I've decided it's just good business. Instead of waiting for a publisher with a roomful of unsolicited manuscripts to pick mine out of the pile, why not go ahead and let the reading public have a go at it? About the only difference I can see is that I won't get an advance payment. I believe the royalty schedule is more to my advantage, though. So, it may all even out in the long run.
Watch for updates as I explore self publishing options.
