All Romance E-Books

And another one bites the dust.

All Romance e-Books is closing down as of Dec. 31, 2016. That was Lori James site which, I believe, has been around since 2006. 5 days ago they sent out a letter soliciting advertising and now they sent out a letter telling existing authors that they'll offer 10 cents on the dollar for monies owed.

10 cents on the dollar.

The letter asked that authors accept getting fucked over so that All Romance doesn't have to go into bankruptcy.

A lot of pissed off authors out there. I took my books off years ago since I never made any money and their porn titles were always front page. And I do mean porn, not erotica. Lots of step-daddy/daughter porn and stuff like that. I felt dirty looking at them.

It will be interesting to see what happens. It seems that authors are getting butt fucked every time they turn around nowadays.

Not a pretty picture out there.

  1. I'm glad now I keep my writing for me - I don't want to be butt fucked by book sites (or anyone else for that matter...)

    I'm glad you're not one of hte authors to get screwed over Lori. You're writing is a wonderful thing and it needs to be out there but not with arsehat companies like this.

  2. I wrote about this at Karen's blog--it still has a lot of people subscribed who will get auto notification of the post--but now that Dear Author cannot be asked to give a flying fuck, most readers won't know what's going on--meaning, they won't know that authors have already been robbed of all royalties from the last quarter of 2016 by...these people, whomever they are.
