DO NOT BUY ANYTHING WITH THE ASPEN MOUNTAIN PRESS
LABEL FROM ANY BOOK SELLER WEB SITE The Book listed below is being held hostage by Sandra Hicks the owner of Aspen Mountain Press She sells Sand Hill Estates The Murders on Amazon.com and Fictionwise.com but she has not paid the author a single dime in over a year! She has never paid the cover artist for her work. She has never paid the Editor for her work. She has paid the author little to NO royalties and nothing since January of 2010. She holds the contract rights on three sequels to this book but none of them have been touched in preparation for Publishing. Why? Because all of her editors or cover artists have quit. She didn't pay them. All of her very talented office staff quit. She didn't pay them. No other publisher will accept these books until SANDRA HICKS signs release of rights back to the Author. She received Emails, Certified letters, and phone calls. She refuses to respond to any. She refuses to publish the books and she refuses to return them but Charles Wells is not alone. There are over 40 other writers in the same/similar situation. Some of them have books out of contract date that are still being sold by Aspen Mountain and still putting money in her pocket. Instead of doing the legal and moral thing by closing up shop and returning contract rights to these authors, SANDRA HICKS has cut them off. She does not communicate by email, phone, or certified mail with any of them. If another publisher were to start selling ANY of these books, she will most likely sue them using STOLEN money to hire the lawyers and try to get MORE money. The law protects her, not the writers. She is using the law to hide behind and steal from writers plus her actions are depriving the general reading public of some very popular books out there today. We here at Wellston Publishing ask the public to STOP BUYING ANY BOOKS from Aspen Mountain Press. BOYCOTT ASPEN MOUNTAIN PRESS | ||

A Warning About Aspen Mountain Press
I am linking this from a fellow author at Aspen Mountain Press. One of my books, The Detention Demon, is in the same predicament. We are not bitter, unkind authors. We have been wronged. Please read the following statement I am linking from here: http://www.wellstonpublishing.com/
