Dragons playing poker
Almost a year ago I decided the way forward was to set up my
own publishing company. At the time it was for tax reasons and with a modest
goal of publishing one of my own books and possibly progressing from there.
Then I had a dream. Not an asleep, dragons playing poker, while I did their
washing, kind of dream, but one where I was fully awake, thinking ‘What if?’
‘What if there was a site on the internet doing for the
short story what Amazon has done for books and Apple has done for music?’
‘What if all the stories that have appeared in magazines,
and for which the authors still have the rights to other publishing, could be
dragged out of drawers and made available to the public?’
