      LitFire Publishing agreed to republish my book and represent it on their website in their bookstore and also represent it on Amazon. That was in 2018. Their website is not functional and currently ****** notes it as receiving malicious attacks. I need to remove this company's representation from my book.

      Hello, the name of my book is Oh How I Love Him, that was published with this company in 2018, I have never received any royalties, whenever I try to contact them, I get an answer machine and no return call. I know that my book is still begin sold on their website because I search for it and found it to still be on there. and because of this I had to get a new publisher to republish my book so that I can received royalties I try over again to contact them to tell them that I don't want to be in any contract with them but to no avail. I think that it wrong to take advantage of people when they worked so hard on a project it took me 10 years to complete this book and to not get paid it hurt, please help me in this matter I want them to take my book off the website because they have no right to it, and to have it on their website as my publisher and the book is now under a new publisher.

      I am an author. I hired Litfire Publishing to provide self publishing services. Since 2020 I have not heard from any representative of Litfire. They have not answered my phone calls, messages, nor emails. They owe me royalties since 2020 of about 200 books. I have had many consumers who have tried to buy my book on their online store that they never received the book after purchasing. I have filed a complaint against the business with ************** of the ******** General as well.

      The first part of this year.I sent my book Silversuit ! to Litfire Publishing last year, and found out this year that the person who was in charge of it had left the company and had not passed the works he had on to anyone. I had already paid for it in a two-books-for-one-price offer. I had understood that ****************** had been rescued and work was beginning. In the last six months, I have not been able to contact anyone in the company. They did an excellent job on a prior book so I expected the same quality work.They need to keep in touch with me about the progress of the book.If they cannot do it, I can send another manuscript and cover.Or, send me the money back and the manuscript and cover if they have it. Pleasr give me an explanation for the delay.

      Litfire published my book "Systems Thinking" in 2019. They have published royalty statements only up to 2Q 2020. For questions on royalties, their website lists a phone number to call. No one pick up the call.

      I published a book with Lit Fire that is currently being sold on Amazon and Wal-Mart online. Lit Fire never informed me they were going out of business and I have received no royalties on my book. Amazon will not give me a sales report as they say I have to contact the publisher which is out of business. I need help finding out what is happening to my book royalties and where is my money going please. Please advise.
