[QUOTE="matthewajg, post: 4590090, member: 37670"] [b]Same problem[/b] As fate would have it, I have had the exact same problem with Dog Soul Publishing for work I started in 2005, that was published in 2006, sold well when it was first released, and garnered an Honorable Mention for Best Eelectronic Book in the Ennies!
