Of course when something seems too good to be true...well, we all know about THAT, but someone told me about a new company called Chateau and Google (so far) has no scam mentions but of course that means nothing, either.
So here's their website - thoughts?

The reason I bring this up is that I have a book currently with an alleged indie publisher who turned out a truly inferior product; my book is not available in brick and mortar stores, and after over a year I have yet to receive anything more than a royalty statement saying I earned twelve cents.
Yeah, I kid you not. Even though I personally have bought 25 books from Amazon to see if they ever fixed the 1,000 formatting errors throughout the book including half sentences, dropped paragraphs...arghh...and I'm no rookie, I've been with Mundania/Phaze for five years and went with a new company because the book I'd written was not a genre they publish.
So I could easily yank my book away from this "vanity" publisher now...I haven't done it sooner because I know once a book has been published, it's not going to be published anywhere else easily and it's a book I'm proud of, damn it!
