It's Never Too Late, Episode 3

In this episode I talk about some of the things I have written. I talk about my publishing experiences and run ins with thieves. The primary thief is Wim Meiners who was one of the founders of what was first called, Publish America and became America Star Books. Just over a year ago he and his company disappeared. I was about to order up some books and called my agent, Karen Wuchter but all I got was her answering machine; which is still picking up messages to this very day. Anyway, one day I was poking about on the internet and Googled my name to see what sort of activity was out there. As I scrolled through the pages I came upon a site which listed one of my novels; A Journey to the Underside, as a free pdf download. I checked into this and found a site which you can register in and apparently obtain all of my published books complete with the cover art for free. The book named apparently has over 2000 reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5 and I have not see one red shekel for my work; not for any of it except for some copies I was able to sell when they first came out. A Pirate's Tale is reviewed in a forum in the official website for the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise by the founder of the site who said: 'I don't like books. I don't read books. But, Gertjan Zwiggelaar's, A Pirate's Tale is an awesome book.' I have seen no royalties and yet there are thousands of copies of this book out there. Now I am struggling to just make ends meet and make rent every month and others are making money off my books. Indeed, four of my books where converted to iBooks, Kindle and the Barnes & Noble version and are being sold but I see no commissions. Not even a piece of sea shell from the beach where Wim Meiners may be sojourning on a vacation or Karen, Rachel, or the other one who agented purchases, some of which were never honoured, as well by them. HUGE FRAUD. They left over 70,000 authors in limbo. Out of all of those peoples' books, my novel, Hanzel Sventska is the largest ever produced by that publisher in their history! Not one red cent to the author. People wonder how can it be I am still generally well humoured. If you want to help, please note my PayPal information. Thanks.
