I indeed like so many other indie authors are inspired by Amanda’s efforts. Truly it is a blessing when an author no matter the background can command an advance from a traditional publisher on her terms. Rise or fall in her experiment, at least she can say she is the author of her own fate (no pun intended) and she will rise or fall in relation to this project on her own terms. I personally believe she will do quite well. Whitney Houston sings that “I decided long ago never to walk in anyone’s shadow. If I fail, If I succeed, at least I’ll live as I believe no matter what they take from me they can’t take away my dignity.” I believe Amanda has much to be thankful for and to hold her head up high. She is truly a trailblazer.
