to self publish or not...that is the question

Our first two books (The Artifact, and Keys) were self published, and though not huge commercial successes, it was very satisfying to have total control over the whole process; editing, artwork, page design.

Now, we are days away from completing our third, and most aggressive, work: The Vanishing Moon.

While total control is nice, we also believe this novel has great commercial potential. And for a bunch of starving artists, commercial = paycheck. So, it may be time to hit up agents/publishers for this piece of work.

BTW...has everyone heard of the statistics of unpublished authors getting a piece of fiction published? As Spock would say, "Captain, I believe the odds of publication are approximately 3,237,810.07 to one."

But, who would of thought that ten virtual strangers would hook up via the 'net to write a single book anyway? I don't know...I think the odds may be with us on this one.

SPOILER ALERT: Be on the lookout for a super cool, super aggressive marketing plan for Vanishing Moon!
