Oh, I won't! I've been pulling my books from them over the past couple years and only have two left with them: Ordinary Souls and The Portals of Sparkling Falls. Someone returned a shitload of copies of the latter, which got me the negative royalties.

Have any of you seen anything like this before? On a scale of 1 to 10, how pathetic is their attempt at a last-minute cash grab?

They want me to send them $110.83 through PayPal to cover the negative balance in my royalty account. (Which isn't something that was addressed in my contract and, I'm assuming, not legally binding.)

Solemnity is book 4 of a series that is out of print, but I feel it works as a standalone as well.

I am selling signed copies of these and shipping them to anywhere in the US. Please email me at jsbaileywrites (at) yahoo (dot) com if you're interested in signed copies.

Alas, this is the end of my writing staycation, and I must return to work after this. And while the first draft of this novel may not be complete, the finish line is finally within sight.
