CreateSpace Self Publishing

Over One Year, More than 10 books and no profit

.Greetings,
I am usually not one to complain but I feel there is some wrong doing by this company. I have received phone calls concerning others who feel they have been defrauded by this company and I am making this complaint but leaving room for arguments.

First let me state that choosing to self publish should not be entered into without checking out the company for it is no secret that most stores will not touch a self published book. I myself did have some success with Craig’s Press and the books were not the quality of the ones I am complaining about.

It was not until they changed hands that I chose to go with Create Space and I did so because they were a part of Amazon and would put your book on Amazon within two to three business days. They also allow you to purchase them at cost and that is what we did and distributed hundreds of them to the streets in the inner cities with great success.

Before Craig’s Press, I had a bad experience with LULU publishing.

My argument is this; my books have been featured on cable TV numerous times with good results. The friend who featured them was a well known station owner and was a part of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. He only showed the books and told how they could be purchased because he loved the books especially the one titled “Eighteen Wheels and Jesus”.

This book is about a truck driver who is a minister and grew up playing games with God. The stories in it are basically true and it is responsible for causing many to change their life style.

We have had attorneys, doctors and many in the professional arena contact us stating that this book kept them in its grasp until they read it through. This is why I wrote it to get the people to meet their life and their creator face to face. I am in the process of finishing volume two. We have many professional people, book companies, people connected with Hollywood and many others following us on twitter. Look up 18_wheels_jesus.

I feel all of this should have generated more than 10 or 15 USD.
We have met people everywhere stating that they purchased the book.
The proceeds are set up to be deposited back into our ministry account.
This picture is not looking right but if I am wrong then I am not too good to apologize.
