Basically, I don’t see anything wrong with an aspiring writer supporting his/her work. You have to start somewhere. The market is saturated with seasoned writers, ghost writers and debut writers. Traditional publishing houses cannot afford to print every MS that is received. I feel that authors should support and encourage one another. We should support Westbow and Harlequin Horizons. I believe they will find diamonds in the rough as a result of this venture. Wait and see. Although, however, I feel that Thomas Nelson d/b/a Westbow should be ashamed for charging such outlandish prices (and they are supposed to be Christian – tsk, tsk, tsk – God forbids).

With the bad press that DellArte is receiving, I’m amazed that Dell Computers hasn’t sued yet for dilution of reputation.
