Text of the page (random words):
accepted i wasn t sure it had been read given the quick turnaround but i had a good reputation and i was already on their books so it was no major surprise even better or so i thought there was the offer for the first three books in the series i d mentioned the plan in my approach and i grabbed it with both hands when i passed on the news to a respected and very experienced writer friend he was less enthusiastic than i d expected he was especially doubtful about the three book deal and suggested i change that right away i explained that because i had signed the contracts i felt honour bound to stick to my word he tried to talk me out of it explaining that it really was no big deal for me to change my mind but i felt i couldn t change my decision even if i realised i was most likely wrong let it snow s beginnings were a bit shaky the editing process was more complicated than i was used to the cover was rather generic everything took a little more time that i expected and felt a little clunky but the book eventually came out and there was a reasonable landing it found a small audience but not one as wide as i felt it deserved they did get me an interview in fairness which was as far as promotion seemed to go undaunted i moved on to writing my funny valentine this was stronger than book 1 was much tighter and delved deeper into the characters and developed their lives really well this time i had some issues with the cover the first suggestions were terrible so were the next i was surprised at the difference between the genius of jt and the new ideas eventually i made a few suggestions and when a half decent cover came out i accepted it what worried me most was that there was no sense of this being a series there was no attempt to suggest any continuity in the books and that didn t make sense after each release i heard back from some trusted readers that there were numerous mistakes in the text partly my fault i m sure that i d expected to have been ironed out in the editing process lists of errors were long some translations from the uk to the us were baffling it was disappointing but i was grateful for the help of my friends and manuscripts were updated along the way there were several updates six monthly on sales and payments were made as expected and sales were improving that was in the main because i was lucky enough to get a non us bookbub for let it snow i explained to the publisher that i had this arranged and that i needed the price drop to be on time which it was i paid for it myself and tried to rally some energy and support from d o perhaps they d work on interviews and blogposts as well as social media support and maybe even take out a few cheaper ads of their own they suggested nothing it became clear to me at that point that promotions and sales weren t their forte in fact i d go further and suggest that they had no interest in promotion or sales as far as i could see which was weird i thought that was what publishers were meant to focus upon once books were taken on i began watching the sales rankings on other down out releases they were always woeful i kept seeing enthusiastic posts about writers who had signed contracts with them and my heart sank every time maybe i should have expressed my concerns publicly at that point as a warning to others but getting a publisher feels like such a big deal that i didn t want to burst bubbles i also felt some kind of loyalty to the family looking back i wish i d handled things differently by the time aint that a kick in the head came out i had all but given up on sales and promotion rather than feel like a hub of activity and energy d o felt more like collectors of crime titles than anything else i looked upon them as a graveyard for crime writers and many amazing writers at that it was about this time that communication pretty much dried up gone were the regular sales updates and payments even though i could see that my titles were still occasionally selling in the end i became so frustrated that i contacted them and asked for updates lance gave me a fairly quick reply in fairness he always responded to my questions and was always supportive and polite i also got some payment at that point which was about a year ago as far as i can remember and i was grateful for that and then came the sudden news of their demise an email to all us authors informing us that d o was shutting its doors my first reaction was one of relief i kid you not i had often thought about asking to get the rights back anyway i d seen others i respect doing so i didn t feel any books there got the support they deserved i was resigned to the rat pack novels just sinking into the mulch and disappearing forever and then i reread the email there would be no payments offered to authors for any sales already made wtf they had to be kidding right i can t have been understanding them correctly and yet it was exactly what they meant i didn t feel bad for myself because if they owed me anything it was probably in the low tens of dollars and that only because i d chased it up a year before but the others out there some were royally screwed beau johnson was the most vocal about the shoddy treatment he was led to believe that there was a future for more of his books with them and went on heavily promoting his work while the plug was being pulled in short it appears that d o happily allowed beau to continue making money for them inlcuding a big order of books made for an event when they had no intention of honouring payments which is appalling there will be others left heavily out of pocket too the whole thing is a disgrace it tarnishes eric campbell s reputation makes you wonder what he was thinking i know a lot of folk have said he s a terrific guy i ve never met him but after this i d suggest that he really isn t there may be extenuating circumstances mental health financial etc so i don t want to go in too heavily just in case but it feels like theft and fraud to me it s certainly not the way to go about business and is definitely an insult to friends and colleagues alike i suspect things just failed so badly that the only thing to do was to shut the doors it failed so badly because it had no sense of direction or purpose other than as a collector and possibly a badge of honour and status that really was worthless and then there was the inevitable chaos that followed the demise from my point of view lance did everything as he wasn t in control he was it seemed to me stuck in the middle there were mentions of rights being returned yet it wasn t automatic there were many authors so perhaps the delays were inevitable eventually and upon request the rights of all five of my books came back i asked for covers the rat pack ones weren t really of interest but i felt it would be good to have original copies anyway preferably without the logo which never appeared i asked several times scratched records for the return of best copy manuscripts and eventually got them i never asked for best copies upon completion of editing earlier on so this was really important in terms of saving me huge effort when looking for a new direction i didn t bother asking for money and there was also the period possibly still ongoing where books were available for sale even though rights were returned the distributor may have been slow here but it s still very unsatisfactory on the positive side jt lindroos occasional cover designer for d o was steady and professional he dug out a copy of the ilp cover he designed to send to me and took it further removing the logo and adjusting the cover to accommodate that change he also got onto facebook and offered the covers to any authors if he had them just a nice thoughtful and human thing to do i also had some kind words of support from some old facebook friends and all of them were gratefully received the whole thing has been a shambles so when i saw that festive update i practically choked on my bile it turns out that there is to be a resurrection of down out i m unclear as to what this means for authors who choose to stick around i emailed the address offered by the new boss es and had a very prompt response from joe which was reassuring i can t know how things have moved from one owner to another i suspect joe and others has taken this one without any money changing hands and that it s a genuine attempt to salvage something from the ashes i really hope this is the case as far as i can tell payments due from the previous owners are still not going to be made in the circumstances i don t feel joe should automatically shoulder this and believe this is still on eric s plate i ll be happy to support a future incarnation of d o but not with my books for authors considering sending submissions i d urge the utmost caution be patient watch for a while wait and see how this pans out i hope there will be positive outcomes as things change i m crossing my fingers but not holding my breath posted by nigel bird at 14 32 1 comment sunday 2 november 2025 one man s opinion the house that jack built by ed mcbain well here s a rare thing in fact it s a first for me an ed mcbain novel that i haven t enjoyed i say i haven t enjoyed it but i didn t really give it a chance twenty pages in and i m throwing it onto the place where the did not finish pile would be if there were any other books there i can t explain what it is that stopped me from carrying on the introduction has matthew hope defending a man suspected of murdering his gay brother in the aftermath of a party attitudes are somewhat outdated and i can often live with that but i m not sure i like matthew hope and didn t feel i could be bothered to get to know him not for me then unless you pile in and convince me that it s worth making the effort posted by nigel bird at 12 02 no comments monday 13 october 2025 one man s opinion leonard and hungry paul by ronan hession it s a long while since i did tai chi and read the dao of pooh i was reminded of this when i opened leonard and hungry paul in that it was clear i was in for a change of pace being used to reading and writing pulse raising stories in the main leonard and hungry paul is a charming book that continues to gently glow from the first page to the last the pair might well be described as misfits but the friendship is stronger than most meaning leonard has been all but adopted into hungry paul s family they are creatures of habit enjoying board games and moments of togetherness within a life of routine and security but things change oddly things change is a film that sticks in my memory and is also brought to mind by this novel hungry paul s sister is getting married leonard s mum has recently died and he has finally met someone who might consider starting a relationship with him the ripples of the alterations to life are gentle yet contain power the nature of what is to come is uncertain yet hungry paul is unperturbed he s a winnie the pooh type character centred and wise carrying within the ability to impact upon the world and those around him with minimal effort desire or even intention the stories within flow like a bubbling stream though it has the required tension to create a narrative drive the pleasure of the read lies elsewhere in the thoughtful observations the light touches warming humour solid relationships and laugh out loud moments spending time with leonard hungry paul and the cast of surrounding characters is a real treat it s a book to be savoured to share and to keep on the shelves never to be sent on to the charity shop i believe it will soon be released as a tv series and i for one can t wait to see it posted by nigel bird at 16 37 no comments
