In October I wrote a poem titled, Pedals from Heaven in which I entered into a contest online with American Poets Society. I recieved a letter on my birthday 10/19/04 from the so called Senior editor Teresa G. Stimpson telling me that her staff & she had picked my poem to be in an upcoming book of poetry called Expressions ISBN: (0-9743429-7-1) and that I had the opportunity to purchase a personalized copy of the book in which I ordered that very day. To date 11/30/05 I have yet to see the book of poetry, and I've sent this company and Teresa a total of 6 emails to date. She did respond to one of my emails with the excuse that their company had gone through some major financial set-backs, but that was behind them now and that the typeset was just beginning for Expressions in which my poem was in. She also told me that it should be 2 - 3 months before shipping, "this was 07/20/05!" So Teresa what is it another financial crisis, or what? It's just a RIP-OFF by a scam artist who make there living using the word of real artist! Someday you will pay through legal means, or when the maker calls on you. Remember it comes back 10 times the bad seeds we sow, You better start making amens!
