Complaint Review: Abundant Press Inc

I've been in publishing for 58 years and have helped thousands of authors and publishers get more than 14,000 titles published. This person, Andy Broadaway was referred by a client who left the US. I really wish this man had left. We did a few books for him, and he was a slow payer. We bugged him to pay, and he did. One day he wrote and said his wife had cancer, could we help him - he'd be busy. So we rush out a book for him - his own book, called Gamification. After 95 days and 4 requests for payment - he says he doesn't even know the job, even though the title is up for sale and he's the author. In the meantime he sent another job - which he also didn't pay for, which he asked for a rush and we performed it in 14 hours.

He didn't pay for that either. Upon writing to him - an argument ensued - he called us names, and we simply invoked our rights to the work we did, intellectual property rights under Mechanic Lien principle, and he went biserk. He is simply a dishonorable man and he shouldn't be trusted with anyone's book, nor be trusted to pay his bills. He used his wife's illness as an excuse to disappear and not pay. NEVER TRUST HIM - he is a dishonorable credit risk. We have over 1400 clients around the world, and this man - we've thrown him out . Be careful - don't trust people you don't know - even if you think someone is a good person - check with the BBB and AG's office. You might get a surprise.
