Tom is currently well advanced in writing his latest creation, his first in the erotic fantasy genre. Tom is trying to decide if he will self publish or risk a publisher. having had his fingers burned and not wanting to risk this work being parked in a vacuum of inaction, he is trying to decide if self publishing is the better option for his readers. The choice seems to be to sign a contract and risk a very long wait, but a possibility of a wider audience, or self publish, put the work out their for the readers, but limit the audience. A quandary!
