100 Meters From Shore, Part 4: The Screenshot Proofs

Throughout this series of blogs, I've tried to be faithful to the notion of fairness with respect to PWP's actions.  I've cited specific emails and exchanges, holding nothing back in the process so that anyone - and I do mean anyone who sees this blog (including PWP personnel) - can read, and comment, in a totally uncensored capacity.

My last act in this series, barring any other significant developments, will be to post the following screenshots of my former relationship with Passionate Writer Publishing.  I do this so that there can be no question that I did indeed have a relationship with them, just in case of the future possibility that someone may attempt to deny that I was actually working with this company.

I am surprised to have found these images still up on PWP's website.  But their oversight is to my advantage.  So I thank them.

Note that what I have done is put the actual linked tabs into this blog as headings so that you know where to click once at the PWP website to find this data.  However, how long this information remains up on PWP's site is unknown, and thus these images are added here.

And now the screenshots.


Our Authors

The first screenshot I'm using is to validate the fact that I was a currently-listed author with a work to be published by PWP.  Note my name as fourth from the top.


The second screenshot is my brief biography, found once my name is clicked on under the "Our Authors" tab.




Books - Sci-Fi and Fantasy

The third screenshot is of the cover art for my book.  Although this cover art is still up on PWP's website, they have taken it down from the "Coming Soon" section of their books.  This is appropriate since I cancelled my relationship; I am no longer seeking to have Epoc Enuma published with PWP!  However, I am surprised to see it still up at all. 




Coming Soon

The final screenshot is of PWP's current roster of books to be completed and published.  I am assuming that the remaining six covers seen below represent either those authors who went ahead with publication after paying the $199 fee, or who were not at all affected by the changeover, and thus 10/1/12 never applied to them.  I only wished I had gotten a screenshot of all of the other books (including mine) that were slated to be completed and published before the infamous 10/1/12 email.

Note, however, that the title "Can I Get A Witness" by Mikki Zimmerman is listed as one of those currently up for publication, as well as being listed under the "Books" tab.  I believe this shows that a slate of books were still in PWP's roster to be completed before 10/1/12, including mine.






As before, let this serve as the final word on this saga with Passionate Writer Publishing.  Having stated my grievances, and having established them with proofs, I no longer wish to continue discussing this subject.  I have moved on to try and find another, more worthy publishing house.  And I intend to succeed.

Now, we're heading back.  Back upward.  You know the rest! :)  And so....


Until next time....






To the upward reach of man!
