I have a lot of novels that I haven't finished. I usually get 150 pages in and I realize it's not going anywhere. I don't publish everything I write. I must have six unfinished novels at least. ↗

I took the process of doing as much myself as I could like a duck to water. I set up my own label and publishing, etc, and it was a fun learning curve two decades ago. ↗

I don't think anyone will believe me, but I've never been pressured by a publisher to churn out a book. ↗

I tend to turn down books originally published as e-books. As for selling books directly to e-book publishers, I would do so only if all traditional publishers had turned them down. ↗

We are forced by the major publishers to include electronic rights in the contracts we make with publishers for new books. And there's very little we can do about that. ↗
