I am holding in my hand a check for one dollar and twelve cents made out to me from my publisher, PublishAmerica.
That publisher is based in Maryland and publishes without the usual self publishing fees although their efforts after they have gone through the editing and publishing of your book is the same.
The check is my royalties and all the royalties that I have seen since I published my book, My Mother's Cooking. For the past two years, I know of only two people who have ordered the book not from me but from book stores. My check says that I had one book sold.
What can I induce? Only that at least the royalties for one book have gone astray.
I did not cash this check because I wanted to keep it as a momento of what a royalty check should look like even though as I have discovered, the publisher is not honest.
