As expected, bankruptcy Received a letter today from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Western District of Louisiana informing me of a creditors meeting in the case of Huntington House/Vital Issues Press, publisher of my first book. It seems Huntington House's parent corporation, Huntington Advertising Agency, Inc. (I never knew it was an ad agency), has filed Chapter 7. (If you click on the Huntington House site above, you'll land on the web page of a group known as Alpha Publishing, and the first words you'll see are these: Our Future is getting brighter! A rather strange statement from an insolvent company.)
Faithful readers of this blog will recall an earlier post about problems collecting past-due royalties. I finally hired an attorney in order to obtain the copyright for E-vangelism from Huntington House in exchange for forfeiture of the royalties I'd never have collected anyway.
I won't be attending the creditors meeting. This is all behind me now. Really, it is.
