I really like the look of the site and the fact that it seems to cover more than just reviews: there are columns that deal with cover design, a news section, and a review of publishers in the self-publishing world.
Henry decided to create a review site in order to help legitimize self-publishing.
I've been meaning to do this for a while - one of my complaints about self-publishing is how little it's taken seriously. I wanted to create a place that will hopefully legitimize self-publishing to some degree and get writers some attention. It doesn't just cover book reviews, but every facet of self-publishing - news, how-to's, and the like.Henry is also working on a new book.
I'm gearing up to release my next novel and I don't really have the heart or desire to deal with submitting it to publishers. I've been working on this novel for a few years and it has some of the same issues as North of Sunset - it's not well-defined in any one genre. The closest thing would be science fiction, but I'm not a science fiction writer, so I could see some negative responses.

Thanks for the mention. You've reviewed Frank Daniels' Futureproof in the past. Check out his guest post on the site now about going from self-published to Harper Collins. Think you'll like it.
Re: your comment on the site: "like it," was probably the wrong choice of words. But it does show a glaring honesty, which is why Futureproof is so powerful.
