SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

Saw posts on goodreads author profiles Jim C. Hines and A.C. Crispin regarding publisher who has not been paying their authors' royalties six months to a year. Not requoting, just check out the posts and links for yourself. Unreal; particularly with the possibility of self-publishing and how well-tracked ebook sales are via big sellers like amazon, the credit card companies, etc.

Ms. Crispin may be more familiar to some of us from Star Trek Spock/Vulcan novels; not exactly an unknown.

In case they post more overwriting, direct link to her post is http://www.goodreads.com/author_blog_...

Wow, both very well known authors. That publisher must be crazy or in trouble.

I got curious and followed some of the blog and website postings and it's not just Crispin. Other authors also have royalties nearly a year past due.

Wow. I agree. Hope they get their act together soon or they're going under. If they aren't on their way already.

Well, don't know about other authors but Ms. Crispin posts today that the royalties are now paid, all ebooks sales transferred back to her (except currently ibooks which is in progress). Hurray for the public outcry I guess; but, it's still a nasty mess and hard enough for authors to get published, on book shelves, etc. -- her post at http://www.goodreads.com/author_blog_...

Wonder how all the other authors got on or whether it was just Ms Crispin due to the hue & cry.

I expect, SFWA's Writers Beware likely to get embroiled in if not resolved for other authors.

Unreal !!!
