What have I decided? It
depends on what you're referring to. I self-publish my music, and I'm
happy with that setup. I've self-published the Solar Echoes RPG
books, and though I've sold most of my physical copies and a number
of digital copies as well, I realize how difficult it is to
advertise. Back when Solar Echoes released in 2012, I was under the
naïve impression that a good product will sell itself. The response
to the game at conventions has been great, and there is even an
international following, but it has been really difficult to
advertise and let people know about it beyond that. It seems that
once they try the game, they usually go for it and really enjoy it
(thanks everyone!) but to keep it all going, I need to reach more
people. I post often, attend conventions, and advertise some online,
but I rely almost entirely on word-of-mouth and social media for
advertising--it's easy to get lost among all the other products out
there (many of them with huge budgets for marketing!) I've learned
from all this, and that's why I'm trying to find an agent or a
publisher for my sci-fi novel. Hopefully, someone will give it a
chance!
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
