I was reading a report on Noble House of New York, and I had to shake my head, for I was not alone, I also wrote poetry which was to be published by Noble House of New York, they sent me via e-mails, my poem laid out to be proof read, I was also informed regarding a contest in Las Vegas, in which we were all to attend and read our poems, attend a dinner, cash prizes, meet famous poets, entertainers. They went as far as to tell me that I was awarded an honor of being an ambassador of poetry for that year. I unlike the other person, did not pay them a dime that they wanted, for the purchase of the book and the awards that they claimed I won.
At the time I was dealing with an Illness and the loss of my mother... The poem I wrote (Stepping Stone) was in honor of my mother, and dedicated to her memory and I thought how wonderfull, something in print that would forever be there for my family to enjoy. That the world would know just how much she was loved and missed. I went to Barnes and Noble to look for the book titled Winter Solace to purchase and to my surprise, No such book. I should have known better, but in my case I did not lose any money. And I know these people need to be stopped, Im sure there are plenty of other people recieving these e-mails from poetry.com/Noble Of New York and paying out what could end up being hundreds of dollars.
