Trestle Press/ Brit Grit/ Drunk On the Moon - UPDATE!

UPDATE:


I sent this letter to Trestle Press yesterday.

'I would like to request that the following Ebooks that I have authored - and have been published by Trestle Press- be removed from sale:

Drunk On the Moon 



Brit Grit



I would also like to request that the story 'When The Moon Falls' ,that I recently sent you, not be included in the print Drunk On The Moon anthology or published in any other form by Trestle Press.

With regard to the charity anthology, Brit Grit Too, that I edited,I will discuss this matter with the writers involved as to whether they would like the book withdrawn.

As you are aware, I own the rights  to all of my writing and would like this matter dealt with as of now.

Thank you.

Paul D Brazill'

So, that's how it stands. I'll let you know more about a new home for my Drunk On The Moon and Brit Grit stories at a later date.

As I was one of the writers featured in the collection, I support Paul one hundred percent.

I think I missed a beat here, but good luck to you all.

I also fully support this decision. My own stories have been withdrawn t my request.

Ian Ayris said...

With you all the way, mate. You deserve better.

I located the source of my story covers. It wasn't difficult.

Anything I can add to the glory of your stories . . . I'm all there, Mr TOP CLASS Thrill o'Brazill.

Getting Harbinger*33 outta the harbour to the high seas -- you want to reconfigure a "cabin" of your treasures there, you just think it over and whistle my way.

Say Paul, you know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and . . .

Seriously man, what all those aces in the deck up there said ~ We're here for you in that stuff Aretha sings about.

I'm not aware of the background to all this PDB but you can always count on me for support.

If you have time maybe you can drop me an email and get me up to date on this.

Best.

David Barber said...

Finally people are seeing TP for what it is. 100% behind you, Paul.

Kent said...

Like David said, I am happy to see some seeing Trestle for what it has always been. Good on you, Paul. You and your writing deserve better.

More than happy to have my story 'hero' pulled from TP. I'd don't want to be associated with this shower of shite. -Pete Sortwell

Paul D Brazill said...

Thanks for the comments all.

Brit Grit Too has been withdrawn and will appear in a bigger, stronger form in the near future. And not wearing knock off clobber, either.

Hey Paul, I think it was a wise decision. Left a while back, and what a relief it was!

I want to congratulate all of you who are pulling your work from Trestle for taking a stand and doing The Right Thing. You totally rock.

Julia Madeleine said...

Due to Trestlegate my titles are out too

Nick Boldock said...

Support from me too. In fact I'd go one step further and say I hope they get sued all the way to the next solar system.

Kevin Michaels said...

Not sure what's going on with Trestle or the specific issues involved with Brit Grit....I had some brief flirtations with them a few months ago, but chose to head in a different direction. I didn't like the feeling or vibe I got from them.

I'm with you and everyone on this page 100%.

Bit late to this Paul, but well done on this decision, absolutely support this for Brit Grit Too.

Rex Jameson said...

Sorry you had to go through this kind of rude awakening, but best of luck on the re-release. You're doing the right thing.

pattinase (abbott) said...

I feel so sad that you have to go through this. We go about blithely thinking the world is a fair and honest place, but it isn't sometimes. Best of wishes.

Aaron Patterson said...

Let me know if you need anything. Les is a good man and you are as well because you are his bud...if you need eBook convert, cover art...whatever. I will do what i can to help you out.

Linna Drehmel said...

you have another supporter with me and my husband.

Paul D Brazill said...

Cheers everyone. Thanks for the support and offers of help.
