I just went through my library to see how I've been doing on self-pubbed books I've bought and read, boy there's been some home runs and solidly rated books in that group. Some stinkers too but the good out weighs the bad by far. The bad were mostly early day purchases when I was still trying to find non-agency stuff. Overall, of those I read I do now have some favorite authors: Kristen Ashley, Kitty Thomas with R. Lee Smith & Brenna Aubrey heading up the list. Much of the other self-pubbed stuff I've read has been novellas that are part of a traditionally published series. Also trad pubbed authors that have gone indie such as Courtney Milan and Bella Andre. If anything my pace is picking up on indie purchases because I've had pretty good luck.

I think it's best to stick to top rated ones at this point the slush pile now needs a new name I mean it's getting worse each day with the amount of junk out there. I don't consider authors who once decide to publish their own books and leave their publisher indies. I think they've established a different titled...maybe we need to come up with one?
I do believe there are diamonds out there waiting to be discovered but it's getting harder to find them.
