Way to go, Bonnie.....
They did something similar to me. Told me in August of 2004 that my royalty statement did not reflect all sales because of the 30, 60, 90 day terms, which we now know to be nonsense. In February 2005, my royalties were "0". I complained loudly and mentioned the IRS. On April 1st, 2005 (no explanation given), I suddenly received a cheque for the princely sum of $3.39 purporting to be royalties. Where did those come from? After all I had sold no books, right? Pay attention, PA Authors, see how you feel in August 2005 before you become too enthusiastic about PA.
As a PA Author myself, let me reiterate that I came out of "lurkdom" in April and was welcomed, not by everybody, because people have other things to do besides monitor this thread day and night. I regarded the welcome as implicit from all.
Having said this, I am going to express my opinion. (Shuts Nice-o-Matic down for a while). Not every PA Author is scrupulous. Some of those loyal to PA come here for the express purpose of snooping, creating dissension and carrying tales back. Perhaps they need to know more about Phase II. Who knows? Those who have a tale to tell are welcomed and listened to on AW. In my humble opinion the other kind are not welcome. They know who they are.
This is not to point a finger at anyone in particular, but just to remind everyone not to be so sensitive. If you are
"hurting", or just want to help in the fight against an unscrupulous, spiteful and rude Publisher, then you are welcome. Please do not judge hastily.
