THE BOOK HAS NO PRINT DATE.
I feel quite shocked by this, a colleague I work with, who also follows this car crash book launch, but doesn't comment on either forum, I'll call this person Bob, to save confusion, told me last night in work that they had had enough of all this speculation about this damm book that they had actually phoned Troubabor publishing to inquire about the book.
the person they spoke to, confirmed the book name and author were with the house for self publication.
Bob then said people had been waiting for this book since March, and had been repeatedly told the book would be coming in October, as recently as a few days ago, by the authors wife.
the person on the phone then went offline to check with someone else and came back to say the book as yet had no discussed print date, and as things stood it could be next year, !!
I feel sickened to my stomach that this is actually now looking like a massive scam, the person on the phone is saying it could be next year, ( next year is 8 weeks away) the publisher is
STILL waiting to be given the book and a date to put to print.
WHAT THE BLEEPING HELL IS GOING ON. Have they just registered the name and the author with Troubadour, had the book cover computer generated, but have no intention of ever sending
A book over for printing. She has been promising over and over thru October that the book will be getting printed out any day, but yet the print house have no idea!!!
Even if it is genuinely going to get printed out, why is she saying any day now, ??? when theres the possibility it could be next year!
Oh, and no mention AT all from the pub house, that the author had died. It was like they weren't even aware of the situation Bob said.
I think anybody who has ordered this book should be phoning the publishing house and find out what is going on, dont take Bob's word for it please. Or mine, I'm just repeating what bob told me. Maybe Bob misunderstood, but it needs double checking.
Please can somebody else call the publisher somebody independant other than myself, and double check this, because lisa was saying anyday now, but the publishers are saying maybe next year, which makes us think, they haven't even had a conversation with lisa recently, because if they had been chatting with lisa, they would say the book is pending, but all they can say is it could be next year.
Has she put any updates up, if this info is wrong then lisa needs to address this, the bleeping elephant in the room, if this is incorrect, then she needs to speak out and explain why all the delays, the lies, if the book is going to be genuinely printed then explain what's going on, stop lying to people, I dont get it, she must know it only takes a phone call to expose what's going on, beyond confused here, what a tit show.....
but if this is all true, then I'm totally lost for words. WTF....
