And Wrox... and glasshaus. Peer Information group bit the dust today as they declared bankrupcy and sent their staff running for the hills.
And also left a lot of us authors without money. A lot. We had 2 books finished, ready for print, and were waiting for the advances to be put into the bank.
But they won't be. Nor will the books be printed in all likelihood. Nor will we see any royalties on any of the books already out (although, that isn't too much of anything to count on anyway).
Regardless, time to move on. A really really hard and huge blow to us today since we're fairly poor and FOED was a huge part of our income (but authoring for em usually nabbed about $4-$5 per hour). But I'm quittin the whining here, and getting back to work. We hope!!!
Best of luck to those who worked at friends of ED - you guys were so cool, friendly and a lot of fun to work with. Good luck in your future endeavors.
And tire? it's spelled with an "i" you guys!
