Re: Contract Termination
"I'm kind of surprised they banned her, she's always come off as rather positive on the PA board."
I'm not surprised. They will boot you in a heartbeat if they think you went negative on them. They tolerate some authors more than others. It seems they use a size 12 boot in the a** to dump the authors with who get frantic in their messages. First, the PA eyes probably read the frantic author's email, laugh about the author crying in their beer and then take bets on how fast the desperate author is going to post their concerns on the board.
The authors post their legit greivances and then the boot comes out and kicks them so fast they don't know what happened.
PA creates this d*** adversary way with their authors by setting them up by not answering the author's emails and by not posting rules for the board. Most authors don't realize they can't speak their minds or ask questions about legit concerns on the public board.
Hey PA Eye, are you reading this? Sure you are.
You are the one who is making so many PA authors mad by putting the boot in their a** for asking legit questions and by not treating them fairly. There is no doubt that you would have fewer authors if you put that your books are around $5.00 higher than most other similar published books and the author's book will not be accepted in most bookstores in your contracts where the author can easily read this information. You are misleading people even if the PA cheerleaders choose to ignore these important deliberately omitted facts.
Newbie authors, be very wary of PA because they will chew you up and then spit you out while saying next newbie author please as they smile. Watch out for the big "Boot"
Dave, are you trying to twist my words? By the way, when you start calling me Mr. ProandCon I will resume calling you Mr. Kuminski. I wasn't referring to the authors here. There was a meaning behind it but not that. I would like to see you quit being a sideline quarterback and grab that picket sign. NCQ13 and others need your help.
By the way, I noticed on a few of your posts that you actually have a good sense of humor. Maybe you can give Aka eraser a few lessons. I'm sure he would appreciate the help before they fire him for bad jokes.
Oh, I'm sorry Ms. Power. I would never think of you in those terms. We all have a bad day sometimes. Cheer up and try doing what I do by saying "Today, I will be a better writer". I hope you don't mind the tip but I hate to see you beat yourself up. I seem to have a hard time spelling your name. I added the "S" and I didn't capitilize the "P". Shoot me for the mistake. Please, be kind to yourself.
Time to go fishing
Hey Jenna. You are a pretty cool board moderator and I've got to respect your efforts to make PA clean up their act or get out of the business.
