[QUOTE="dragonier, post: 4421596, member: 5888"] Wow, this is some development. Donna, my wife Laura did the editing of the [I]Books of Faith: Hinduism[/I] manuscript for Deb and Sean. In fact she did a number of projects for them over the course of about 8 or 9 months. She hasn't seen a dime for any of them. [I]Races of Consequence[/I] - published [I]Books of Faith: Hinduism[/I] - published as two books, one on Hinduism and one on Jainism [I]Road of the Worlds[/I] - unpublished [I]Cassia[/I] - unpublished In addition Deb worked with Laura on some material for Dark Quest Games' [I]Gods of War[/I] set in their [I]Guiding Light[/I] series. The first book, [I]Seth[/I] was published and the editing was completed on [I]Morrigan[/I]. The manuscript for [I]Odin[/I], the third in the series, was never sent. The work with Dog Soul was the first gig Laura got in the RPG field and it was a real boost to morale. Here was a company that was producing really interesting, high quality material, and apparently plenty of it. And as other posters have said, Deb and Sean seemed great to work with right up to the point of payment. Unfortunately we don't even know the exact amount Laura is owed since at least one of the projects was to be paid on a percentage of the sales. What is doubly frustrating is the fact that I was the one to point out the original "help wanted" post from Dog Soul. My wife is an excellent, professionally trained editor and can tear apart a 3.5 stat block with ease (though not quite with your practiced eye John!). With the bad feelings left by this fiasco, she is unlikely to want to work with another RPG company again. The d20 publishing community has likely lost a fantastic resource. :( [/QUOTE]
