One of the downsides to POD publishing is that perhaps it gives too much freedom--freedom to move from one POD publisher to another. And why would one do that?

Who knows.

But as is the case of the big boner book, we now have a copy through Authorhouse (which seems to have dropped in rank from 650 to the mid 60,000's) and now one from Outskirts Press (hovering in the 9,000 range.) They were published two months apart and both sell as a $25 paperback. Viagra might be cheaper.

Speaking of $25 paperbacks, the PublishAmerica promo pamphlet has managed to sell a few copies, as the big book of drivel is currently ranked under 1,000,000 (which I am sure PA is touting as "selling better than millions of other published titles!)

Speaking of being ripped off, it looks like Martha Ivery (aka Kelly O'Donnell, aka Press-TIGE Publishing) is getting what she deserves.

She managed to milk $700k out of wannabe authors over the last several years (makes PA look like a 7-year-old's lemonade stand) while giving nothing in return.

Lesson here? Pay attention to Ann Crispin.
