Current situations have me concerned, particularly my reader’s rights over books written by me that they legally purchased, regardless of the seller.  This disregards whether it’s an E-book or printed.  My concern is from some publishers (no names mentioned) who have decided to control access to stories that readers purchased, in other words, that these readers own.  This includes the possibility of losing the book!

Access to books a person owns should not be hindered in any way–it’s their book!  Certainly, in this day and age of dwindling brick-and-mortar bookstores, no owner of these stores would dare such stupidity!  Imagine being able to read one’s purchased book ONLY while in said store?  Where such mentality could lead is especially frightening at the moment.

Thus, I am once again revamping billiewinterholer.com.  I appreciate that many publishers have given indie authors opportunity to publish in a realm that controls what’s published.  But we have also helped push these publishers into the main spotlight, and it’s our readers who have made the publishers and authors what we are today.
