Steven Lyle Jordan - I'm one of the ones who tends to avoid indy authors - but I admit that part of the problem is discovery. I'm careful what I read, because what I read profoundly affects my moods, and I have to be cautious about that. So, I go mostly by recommendation from trusted sites and book groups that I follow - and at least one of the blogs where I get most of my recommendations specifically does not review indy books, because the few that they've tried were so terrible, or so terribly proofread that the reviewers couldn't get into the story for all the grammatical and other errors. (what indies they do review tend to be M/M or other forms of erotica that I don't read.).
So - tell me how to find *good* quality romantic suspense (or strongly character-driven suspense) novels that are well formatted and proofread, that end well, and maybe I'll try an indy author.
