Xlibris (Alan Bowers Publisher Liar!) So many: Ann Porter, Cherry Villa (refuses to answer my emails), Cherry Minoza, Jane Cole Xlibris is a dishonest, manipulating book-publishing company.  Bloomington Indiana

Comprising so many inefficient and ineffective officers: many part-time! Its main purpose is to grab and grab vulnerable first authors' money. There are so many examples of lies and unprofessional behaviour. I could begin with a Mr Alan Bowers (Publisher and Director) who contacted me on the 2st July last year. He said that the covers of the two books I was publishing should be changed (His idea) He wanted to improve branding".He said that he had asked "for a sample edit, so that I can share with you what we see from a writing point of view". (Please note that Mr Yusner Daniels - an employe-had called me to say that Mr Bowers was "excited" about my books! Bowers in his e-mail said to me "not to do anything till you (I) hear from me". In spite of several e-mails I have sent to him, he has not contacted me and not replied to any of my mails to him. In effect he has lied and deceived me. He has also left me in the lurch: pondering and disbelieving a senior person can behave in such an appalling way. Much is to follow. Staff said they would write or call. They did not. For example a Mr Carlsaid he would call meny times He didnt. Anwers to my concerns were either ignored or brushed under the carpet. It goes on and on. Now they have stopped sending me e-mails. They have cut me off without any explanation. For example Cherry Villa doesn't anr4 any of my concerns. There is business still to be completed. They have not sent me my leather-bound copy for my second book; they have not sent me complementary copies of the first book that Bowers wanted changed; they have not sent me my "small items"; they refuse to discuss royalties. At this stage I still don't know anything about my royalties. There is so much more about this "rip-off" company: a company characterised by lies and energised tenacity in ring out every penny one has! I have copies of all the gmails.
