Well, there hasn’t been a lot of activity here for a while – but that’s all changing. To tell you the truth, the mission got a bit waylaid earlier this year, because I started talking with a company who were going to help with publishing the books – but they turned out to be bandits. Yes, unfortunately they were not what they promised to be. I discovered this when I went to some of the authors that they were listing as Clients, and discovered (tracking the authors through their websites) that these authors had had nothing to do with the company at all. Then I checked the Registered Address for the company – and guess what! They didn’t exist there. So, complete fakes! But luckily, no money changed hands so no long-term damage done.
But that made me very wary, so when I went out again to find a company to assist with publishing, I was super-careful to check them out to the nth degree. Possibly even a little too much – I questioned everything.
It turned out to be worth it. The company got excellent reviews from real-like human being (even one person who had slight complaints said: “But I’ll be using them again!”)
So now we are in the midst of the publication process, designing covers and blurbs and the book-block (there is a lot of detail to try to get right). And soon (a month?) we’ll be going live!
