Digital Print

It's funny, when I decided to take Titan independent it was because they way I saw it the publishing world was dwindling and there was no sense in signing away creative control of my creation to some publisher when I didn't need to. The world was going through a digital revolution and publishing was caught in the middle. e-readers were taking over and print was officially dead. Then, while I was first publishing Titan through amazon and createspace and got The Midnight Hour in print. Now I've sold more print versions of the book than e-book copies. It seems digitization in publishing is going slower that it did for say the music industry and print books may be around a little longer than I thought. Sadly, for print lovers such as myself things will move to the digital world eventually. My son will mostly read Titan on some sort of screen when he grows up. However, the digital revolution has made it possible for someone like me to publish my book and make people aware of it for very little cost and distribute it with very little physical effort. I look forward to the road of discover that lay ahead.
