In the autumn of 2014 I took my book, "The Shadow of Olympus", away from "Author House Publishing Co. because they were bought out by Daw/Penguin- a company that mistreated a written manuscript that I sent to them two years before that.  A.H.P. also was very stingy with royalties for my book and never provided any sales figures for it  while I was their client.  Unfortunately, Outskirts Press has been even worse!  In fifteen months as their client I have never received a penny in royalties!

My sci-finovel is not a peice of drivel, either.  It received two five star reviews from two of its readers* in BarnesandNoble.com- the on-line bookstore for the prestigious Barnes and Noble Book Store chain.  It was also on display in a book fair in New York City last summer (2015).

I want to take my book away from O. P. and market it myself, as an e-book, through a commercial website that I create (or through a consignment agreement with Amazon.com). 

 

* One each in Algeria and Australia.
