I predicted it last year. (I shared those predictions with another author who’s a close pal …and with my webmasters’ group. Only.)

It’s happened …when I predicted it would. (Yes, math still works.)

What does it mean?
It means that indie authors now really have to treat their vocations as a business or get out of the game. It means calculating in overhead, operating expenses, and COGS. It means pricing their books competitively, not giving them away, nor discounting them, except for planned promotional deals that run days, not weeks, months, or years. It means less ability for indie authors (or the trad published, either) to game the system with cooperative ventures. It means a lot more than that, but it’s not prudent for me to publicly share the rest of what I know, calculated, and project …except, of course, with my inner circle.
