Sad news regarding my forthcoming book
Posted 08-28-2010 at 09:36 PM by cricket1961
Hello All
Despite a ton of work that went into creating my book and delivering what I believed people wished to see and learn about, there was a vast difference of opinion with the publisher.
So.... due to Creative differences I cancelled the contract with the publisher and am now preparing to find a new publisher or will be self-publishing.
If you have placed an order(and apparently a huge number of people already did.... my apologies to all of you!) please cancel the the order.
As soon as I have new info about this I will post here.
Regards
Chris

Too bad!
Hope you'll find a new publisher soon Chris, as I'm really dying to finally read your book :-)!
Best regards,

- I hope things work out well for you. I must also say thank you for letting those of us who ordered the book know about the change in plans. I will be among the first to order one when a new publication date is scheduled.

I believe the time when creative people will be able to publish their work independently is here and those "smart" people from publishing houses will be looking for new job ...

- Did you ever get the DVD finished? You could also do a self publish using Blurb or some other publishing house. Good luck.Posted 10-27-2010 at 03:08 PM by skydog
- How about going it alone and doing a downloadable pdf book from your site? Also, if you ever do a DVD - I'm ready with my credit card!
Your work is inspirational. Thank you for sharing your methods.

The PDFs were more popular by far and my take of the PDF was like 90% vs. 60% or so for a dead tree. In the end, the PDF outsold dead trees about three to one. Now days I would redo it all to ePub format to support iPads and like correctly.Posted 11-26-2010 at 07:58 PM by wybnormal
- How about selling a PDF version?
