UPDATE

I had such great intentions of blogging regularly, but as soon as I declared that intention, some awful virus hit me followed by a nasty bacterial sinus and chest infection. Weeks have disappeared in the fight against the nasty.

The same goes for other projects in life, I guess. You get side-tracked. The only thing holding you back is focus and determination. So, with focus and determination I am back on the right track, hopefully.

Anyway, some poor soul has been emailing me about her disappointment in dealing with her "publishing service". I have said it before and I will say it again and again - self publishing means SELF publishing. If you are not in complete control of your book, it will NOT be successful. If you do not understand the publishing industry before you ever print a book, you will FAIL. If you think that education is expensive, try experiencing the cost of ignorance.

That's it in a nutshell. Lack of knowledge will cost you.
