As many of you know, I often post news on my Journal that I find on my Rusty Blackwood Facebook from the prestigious writer’s watchdog, Writer Beware® with regard to important news and updates in the literary world that truly needs to be shared on with those of which the news applies, as well as bringing to light the message within these articles.

As you also know, I am an Indie author, one of countless others who continue to do battle in a dog eat dog business of bringing one’s work to the public eye with hopes it will be accepted and do well. What we don’t need, and unfortunately continue to cope with, is the likes of which you will read in the article I’m sharing on today. I’ve had my share of nonsense from companies like this, and  as a writer and author I find it both degrading and appalling that companies like this continue to prey on the aspiring and unsuspecting author. They have no scruples, and they have no conscience, all they have is greed and a well practiced ability in painting a fictitious picture.

Have a read, see for yourself, and pass it on. It is only through continued awareness that this kind of ill behavior and practice can be stopped, but if it can’t, then at least awareness of it brought to light with hope it will benefit others in diverting these unscrupulous dealings.

 

And as always, support your local authors as well as all your local talents in the Arts.

Rusty.
