I've thought about it. So far, the backlist titles are doing really well, but time will tell whether those brisk sales continue. If they do, I'll be very tempted to self-publish an ebook edition of a novel I wrote ten years ago that never saw the light of print. It's contemporary women's fiction. My editor loved it and wanted to bring it out as a major release. Her boss wanted me to shorten it and dumb it down. I ended up walking away from the contract. So I've had this book I really love just sitting there gathering dust for a decade. Before I do anything with it, it needs a thorough re-read and edit, so when I get a little time (like after my daughter's wedding in September), that book will be next on the agenda. And as I say, if my backlist ebooks are still selling well, I might very well publish this book as a digital original. Otherwise I'll let my agent shop it around.
I've also thought about turning my many articles about fiction writing into a book. I may choose to e-publish that, as well.
