My browser shows the blonde as having disappeared, and all I get is a red page with "Tinyhorn P.F.P to come.!"
Presumably sometime in future we'll be seeing a thread on B&B about P F Publishing or P F Press.
And Victoria -- holy cow, you are *gorgeous*!

Heh...Makes you wonder if it's the same person.

Well, with that description, it's certainly NOT the blonde in the photo.
Then again, I think she's probably a download from a site that charges money for the priviledge...
Curiouser and curiouser. A fellow’s profile as of 4/12/07…

Of course, like most other companies that do this, they will be found out quickly because of similar wording and web design, site ownership, etc.
Petty Friggin' Publisher? I'm sure we can all think of others. (I already have, but I'm leaving the obvious ones for you.
)I still say it is too good to be true and must be some elaborate joke. Can real life be that funny? Dunno. I suppose it can try!
Oh well...I guess that's the end of that. For now that is! I'm sure they will try to come back again!

As far as I'm concerned, any publisher who says, "We only accept manuscripts from agents," should pay advances worth something. As far a $10per page for editing. . . Well, let's just say this. If they were a gas station and that was the price of their gas, they would be investigated for price gouging.

"Tinyhorn is a newly launched royalty publisher who truly cares about its authors, without them we would cease to exist. We'd like to earn their respect by conducting our business in an honest, ethical manner. We have absolutely no interest in exploiting authors through ambiguous contract clauses, or siphoning their much deserved earnings in any way. Authors publishing with Tinyhorn will receive all royalties owed to them, and be treated with respect by our staff at all times."
If Tinyhorn had the above motto to display on their website, (assuming they have now disappeared), why did they cancel an author's contract immediately they received criticism? Criticism is everywhere connected to writers, their writing and the world of publishing and in most of the industries connected to the Arts. Writers have to be strong in their own beliefs, but above all they have to believe in their publishers.
Tinyhorn is obviously not ready to become a publisher, otherwise they would put some weight behind their motto and turn it into reality.

Thanks for bumping this, Uncle Jim. I missed it first time around, and it's got to go on the list of classics.
