Sandy's story

Hurt, humiliated and CHEATED are the feelings I have whenever I think of Publish America. There is no one to blame but myself for allowing them to sweep me off my feet with the promise of having my book published along with visions of little royalty checks rolling in. Rather than dwell upon the fact that I was a fool I really need to turn this experience into a more positive one.

After being so blatantly cheated out of royalties that I am so positive I had coming, all I can say is "I'm glad the bad karma that Publish America has befallen upon themselves isn't mine!" I say this from personal knowledge of people who did indeed purchase my book compared to what PA claims to have sold, wasn't even close to what I tallied. In fact, I was too humiliated to even tell my husband, and the check is still hiding in a drawer.

My first thought was to simply throw in the towel and quit, but that's not my style. I am going to work on finding a reputable literary agent after I finish writing a screenplay, which is my understanding that I still own those rights. Also, I am still working on the second book in the series in spite of my damaged self-esteem in hopes of providing entertainment to younger readers who enjoy fantasy. (Or, is that pure fantasy on my part at this not so golden age of 61?)
