It was pointed out to me that this publisher is bad news. I did what a lot of writers have done in the past, not checked out a place before recommending it. Here’s one of the places you should use to check out agents and publishers: Absolute Write.

There’s an interesting discussion of ParaDon here:
http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=230026
Mr Eglund, of which newspapers are you a mogul? You seem to have slipped under Google’s radar.
It turns out that ParaDon was never anything more than a P.O. Box, no doubt set up to collect $25 “reading fees” from newbie authors. The outfit has now been reported to the Federal Trade Commission.
