To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines.

In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to

ReplyDeleteHave you read the "Top 10 Signs of the Impending U.S. Police State"?
(I particularly liked the line 'The fact is, when people who kill, spy and deceive for a living tell you that the White House has gone too far, you had damn well better pay attention.')
