This interview with #ZenaWynn is longer than my normal author videos, primarily because she and I discussed how much the industry of publishing, indie publishing, has changed. I'd forgotten so many things, simply because things have changed so much that we no longer have to do them.

When it comes to supporting your lifestyle, as well as sustaining a long-term career in #indiepublishing, #authors should consider the industry as it is today, but #writers should also think about how the #selfpublishing or #indiepublishing will change.

Are you ready for the change? Will your #writing, your platform be able to withstand the unknown elements of the future?

I don't have the answer for you, but join me as #ZenaWynn and I chat about #indiepublishing, #writing and our love for #books.

Here's more about Zena.

Zena Wynn is a multi-published author of erotic and sensual romance in various romance subgenres: Interracial, Contemporary, Paranormal, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, and Inspirational. She writes the type of stories she loves to read—stories with great characters who, through love and determination, overcome all the challenges that come their way. Her heroes and heroines are passionately, lovingly, devoted to each other. Zena wants her characters to stick with readers long after “The End.”
