Author House and Xlibris ripped me off on royalty money I was due for three books I had published titled Waking Up, Hollowed Lands 1: Monster Crew and Pearl. Author House promised 4 to 6 percent royalty for every book I sold. I got paid for 1 book a quarter. Big deal for Author House, not me! I was the person who labored for hours writing the material for each book. Author House was paid for everything they did to publish my three books.

In the contract Author House said that my book would be available at every book retailer online,(a good deal!) How about a big rip off! After promoting my three books through local radio ads, Fangoria and countless Thirfty Nickel ads, I was seeing results at the major online retailer's. I was happy to be published! Think again! rip off Gods changed that I got nothing.
