Page Free Publishing
Ripoff, dishonest advertising

I wrote a book titled: "Defensive Documentation and More/Documentacion Prevntiva". I signed a contract with Page Free Publishing in September. My Book was published in November.

I paid $354.00 for publishing. $299.00 for the actual publishing. $55.00 for a Press Release that never materialized.

Page Free Publishing was already notified about the Non Existent Press Release. Page Free Publishing was notified that I wrote my own press release.

Page Free Publishing promised a quarterly royalty. My royalties were due on March. I sent many E Mails on March with regards to my royalties.

At the end of March I wrote another E Mail concerning my royalties. Their response was that "each payment is carried to the next period and that I would be paid in July." The response on the E Mail seemed angry.

I was willing to wait for July. I asked for a statement concerning my book sales. Page Free Publishing sent the statement by E Mail.

According to the statement, I had book sales from January to May totalling 45 Books. My books sell for $10.00 each.

I would also like to add that [at least] 5 people bought my book from the Page Free Publishing Website [the Great American Bookstore] for $16.00 [plus shipping and handling].

I also asked to be included in the Author's Page so that my sales could be tracked. I told Page Free Publishing [via E Mail] that it would help the author and the publisher. Their response was that "the computer had viruses that need to be fixed, the computer will be ready by May 15".

I wrote again on May 31 concerning the Author's Page and there was no reply. How long does it take to fix a computer?

This has caused me mental anguish. I know that my book is being sold. It has received positive feedback from those who have bought it.

While I am thankful for Page Free Publishing [for giving me the chance to publish and promote my book], I think I am owed royalties and 5 sample books. I also have problems with my family who think that I should get out of Book Writing all together. [I still want to continue being an author and I want to resolve this problems of the royalties and the Author's Personal Page].

I would like to add that Page Free Publishing operates as RKD Press Inc. And the Great American Bookstore. The people who I have had contact with were Kim Blagg and Gary Blagg.
