Verbena Pond Publishing

[Tirjasdyn]

Ernie and Mary Carwile have started a new meetup in the Denver area...charging 25$ per session to teach folks to write and publish books. It looks like they are through Verbena Pond publishing...

From their website it looks like they are the only authors published by this company and it may be their own.

They even posted a form letter from Obama as a review...sigh...this so looks like a scam...any info?

Scary quotations:

Writers with a finished manuscript, but no money to publish have a 1 in 250 chance to see their work in print - for free.

Hmm, well so far membership is 1. I hope, probably in vain, that it was stay that way.

Scary quotations:

A $100 entry fee?!?! Yikes!

The wording on their meet-up website sends up so many red flags.
