Carol Adler, Dandelion Books, promotes herself as "the authors' publisher".
In reality she is a Con Artist.
On March 10, I signed a Publishing Agreement with Carol Adler and her (then) partner Rico Sogocio. This agreement clearly states that royalties be paid twice annually with an accounting of books sold, and AUTHOR will receive One Dollar and 25/100 ($1.25) per book..
Many of my books were sold, both in the USA and Europe.
She sells on Amazon.com and other websites, in addition to her own. I purchased over three hundred dollars worth of my own books from Carol.
To date, Carol Adler has NEVER paid royalties NOR did she ever send an accounting.
When I tried to end our agreement amicably because she refused to pay royalties and for other violations, she sent me a contract whereby she attempted to exhort thousands of dollars from me (June 1). I refused to sign it and she continued to advertise my book for sale.
Many authors have been duped by her, are presently being duped or will be. Carol Adler is clearly making money and it is NOT going to her authors.
Adler is nothing but a con artist. The only one who makes money is herself.
She has a warehouse of books, in violation of her print on demand agreement, so she can continue to sell books without the author's knowledge, even if she promises to stop. She advertises on other websites and she sells books in other countries.
DO NOT buy or support Dandelion Books. If you are an author, DO NOT go to Dandelion Books. You WILL be abused, used, conned and paid NO royalties.
