Author Rantings: How to Tell if You Have a Shady Publisher

I find it funny that while I’m LOOKING at my Associate Center page and have already confirmed my findings with Amazon (modern technology is amazing isn’t it?) that you’re trying to tell me all my books were refunded and you owe me nothing. According to my Associate Central page which I confirmed with a phone call to Amazon on when it was last updated, There are still 5 of your deliberate attempt to make me look like a crap writer that were miraculously somehow not returned totaling in price to $9.95. The amount of money is irrelevant. It’s the principle that matters. If I had sold even 1 copy that money would still be mine. And don’t even get me into how you don’t even deserve the 30% you’ll take off the lousy 9.95 either when you did NOTHING to help my book. My Cover was gotten outside the company, my editing was done outside the company. You published a faulty work and now you’re taking a cut of my pay for it. That’s shady and it’s unprofessional.

Second order of business. You contracted me to organize tours for your company under contract I might add.  However, I find your word as a business professional can NOT be trusted. I have no idea how many books your clients have sold to know I’m getting the full 10% of them that I’m supposed to. You word no longer means anything since you tried to lie about MY OWN sales. You will deliver me solid PROOF of the sales for the tours I did so I can determine whether or not you’re going to pay me what I’m supposed to be paid.

Further more I have screen shots of our conversations of you agreeing to send me 1 print copy for each tour I do you have yet to fulfill THAT obligation either.

I’m done playing nice. You thought I was a “demanding bitch” when I was there for you to use? Keep being shady and you’ll see what kind of a bitch I can become.

It’s a damn shame I have to post on my blog to get your attention too, because anytime I NICELY bring up the fact that you owe me money, you suddenly have to go and run away, but you never log off.

September 30 is the end of the quarter. I “demand” proof of your companies sales (So I can send you an invoice) and the invoices for the print copies I’m owed by then so I know I’m getting the full amount I’m owed and not being jerked around again. As well as the invoice for the 3 print copies of my book I ordered before I had you pull it.

And if I don’t get paid for my sales while with your company, you can expect my lawyer to be contacting you.

I warned you to stop messing me. I begged you to stop running away when I tried to talk to you about MY book and MY sales. You instead opted to continued to lie and to be shady, and now the whole world knows and I didn’t even have to name you.
