Too often, we rely on major publishing houses and large retail companies to provide us with the next great story but we should now be looking toward independent authors and novels. Some of the best books are produced by these authors but go un-noticed. I have just read Spirit of the Daisy by author Nick Kach A Fanas. A man's quest to find a cure for his illness. This had more ups and downs than an actual mountain and I said, this is better than any bestseller I have read. I was directed to it by a "Tweet" and found it on a site called bookepica. They are counting down to their 3rd release. The other book looks really good and I will let you know. Thought you should know cuz now I'm hooked on independednt books.

I think its good to have a mixture between what I call mainstream books and independent books. There are good and bad stories with each.

There are book tour groups out there now that help the Independent authors get their names and books out there.

I do agree that when someone is looking for a new book to read they shouldn't automatically dismiss an indie author.
