A word as to what is published and what is not.
My publisher Inkitt is not a traditional publisher. I won a contest on their site about two years ago and the prize was a publishing contract and 2000 dollars worth of promotions.
They publish according to a logarithm and picked Space Pirate first. This is good for a single book author but not exactly ideal for a series like mine.
But the word publishing sounded awesome so I agreed.
They publish3d Midshipman and black Velvet too, they pulled all prior books like Neo Viking, First Journey and Space Cadet of all sites including sol and fiction press.
They now tell me that they change their business model to an online app with episodic stories where the readers determine the outcome. They are also not sure if they want to publish more in the regular format. I.e. print or ebook. They will let me know by September.
They hold the rights of Eric Olafson and I can not publish the prior or subsequent books here or elsewhere.
All my attempts to get an answer as how many books I have sold so far are ignored and the promised quarterly royalty payments have resulted in one payment last year. Without any sales numbers as how they got the sales.
They told me readers complained that the books were to long and too big, so they split up the three published novels into seven books and the box set.
It does not contain all Olafson books.
Right now they hold the rights to Olafson, they told me they are not interested in Roy or any more material and I am free to post these stories.
I keep you all posted
