Interesting Reading Elsewhere--Author David Gaughran

Thanks to twitter, I just came across author David Gaughran's piece on the purchase of  vanity publisher Author Solutions by Penguin. This purchase means that Author House, who banned me years ago from reviewing their books because I was not as positive on occasion as they felt I should be, will now be part of the Penguin empire.

It also means that, as noted in the piece, http://indiereader.com/2012/07/penguins-new-business-model-exploiting-writers/ Penguin is now a part of those who seek to exploit writers for financial profit.
