Michael McCollum is one of the original independent author/publishers and it is interesting to read his take on publishing.
I purchased my first ebook from Michael way back in 2006, to complete my Antares trilogy. The book was worth the wait of close to 17 years. I did not know until then, the reason Michael did not publish that third book.

Worth a read, for those interested in such things.
