I saw that on Nancy Grace today and Nancy threw one woman off the panel. That was quite funny.
That was Loyalty or CaoPaux who was thrown off the panel. She had everybody going for awhile. I was almost fooled until she started talking about who she was, and admitted to all of us in detail that she was Helen Bradley in so many ways.
The show for July 1st isn't up on their site yet. When it comes, I expect it'll be here:

I saw the show and I learned more about the two authors on that show and remembered they reversed rolls on Detroit 4 News. The author Leon made some great points about publishing. No one gave the publisher a chance to speak, but I thought I heard him tell Nancy to look at the title page and she refused, why? When you see it, find out why from your view. I personally think he got shafted, and I believe you will see how they did it.
I saw the show and it was hilarious. She said that her book sold in Japan. Nancy didn't know that just because you see a book displayed online does not mean it was sold. Lightning Source is POD. Now when you see it, you will see a different view than what Loyalty or CaoPaux said. By the way, she was the one who got kicked off the panel.
It's video news, so I don't know how long the link will be active.

The headline: the guy in charge of this vanity outfit was not paying royalties, so the writers sued. He lost. His on camera panic attack is kind of entertaining.
The ASA offices in Detroit were closed. The landlord said rent was unpaid. They have a Michigan office on the website.
Probably NOT a good idea to go with this one!
I wonder who crafted this strange description of the humble ISBN:
Just in our Basic Package we provide that minimum level of publishing, including an ISBN that pushes even the simplest doorway of distribution outlets like having a positive distribution database system working with and through several available worldwide connected distributors like Ingram, Baker & Taylor, and/or Partners, etc. ...read more in the brochure.
Um, no, I'll pass. I need eye bleach.
The publisher won his judgement. The author was forced by the judge to take her books back. She always knew where her books were. She, who is Loyalty or CaoPaux, according to her statement had everyone believe that this publisher did her wrong, but she left her books at the book event that his publishing house gave her with the books that he published for her. She left some of the books and did not tell others the truth that she did until now. There was a picture showing her with her books.
On channel 4 the publisher said there was a modification, a judgement, Karen ignored it, months later, the publisher is the one who won. The books were on the set, Karen could have remained neutral and offered the books to her. There are so many missing pieces to the truth. If Helen won, what did she win? No royalties, and the court forced her to take her books back.
She was right about one thing, he did stop payment, but that was because any busines would have to temporarily shut down from all the stalking and harassment. Loyalty did mention that she did get a PPO from the publisher. Why? Just adding the math.
Here is another thought. If the other lady complained of editing by his editor, why would she have the same editor edit the book again and then sue the publisher after the book is published, why not before?
Ha, that woman's cover is waaaay better than any at PA. But that must have been a pretty low budget outfit if $271.50 drove them out of business. Funny...
They had to temporarily shutdown from all the false harrassment. The publishing house has moved on and has a television show that helps 'All" authors freely promote their books on two cable channels and on youtube.

The publisher has been making awesome book trailers for his authors. Check out this one ASA Publishing did
http://youtu.be/D1QxXUoVoy0
He claims that there weren't any royalties (because there weren't any sales). The suit was over failure to deliver printed books. He was ordered to repay the cost of printing that the author had paid.
Had those folks looked at
Preditors & Editors they would have read, "ASA Publishing Company: Not recommended. A vanity publisher."
The books were delivered. The author purposely left them at the bookstore. It was overturned and the judgement was an order for her to take her books back. I found out why ASA was not recommended. It was because they charge a fee. The difference is that they provide book signings with major bookstores until that lady decides not to tell people that she picked up the books from the publisher's office and mailed them to the bookstore. Then sat with her own books and did not take all of them with her and put Barnes and Noble in an awkard position. Now everyone think it was the publisher's fault or a scammer. I was mad at him for not speaking up. Is he a Christian or something for not standing up for himself? I know he must have learned his lesson by now.
