THE PLANT
Released in installments as an e-book. It was released on the honor system trusting people to download the book first and pay for it later. It was stated that the book would continue as long as 75% of the downloads were paid for.
It was a good idea for those of us without a credit card as we could send a check or money order as payment.
Unfortunately many people thought they didn't have to pay.In the beginning the percentage was good but it dropped with each installment.
The project was put on hold, it may return it may not all we can do is wait and see.
And yes, I paid for mine. |
