The re-release of Jesus Has Two Daddies



Back in December of 2012, my book, “Jesus has two Daddies” was published by 2 Moon Press in Marshall, MI.
The process was fraught with delays and issues with the formatting of the digital version. Little did I know that the business was sold and is now no longer publishing or distributing. The dealings were rather shady and there is currently a lawsuit being brought forth by a group of us angry authors. While I was able to secure a good supply of my printed book, the Kindle version was never in my control. The formatting issues were never fixed, nor did I ever see a profit/royalty check from the publisher, even though many digital copies were sold.
I asked Amazon to remove my book from its collection, and I am happy to report that the new and improved “Jesus has two Daddies” is now available exclusively on Kindle as an e book. The photos are in color and the formatting issues that were in the initial release are gone.
If you bought an earlier version, I would encourage you to complain to Amazon about that edition and ask for a refund, as the more money I can get back from the scoundrel publisher the better!
I would then ask that you visit: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E4UD1TEand order your new copy for $2.99. This time I may actually see a profit on this endeavor!
And, there are a few books still available for you to buy for your library. They are $14.00 signed and shipped to you directly. Send me a message at taoakley@gmail.com and we can discuss details.

I thank you for your continued support with our family and my book.

Much love,
Tom McMillen-Oakley

An update on the book

You can scam us, but you can't take away our awesomeness!
An update for you all…
As you know, when my book was first published in December, we had some issues getting the actual physical hold em in your hands books printed. We also had issues with the formatting on the Kindle and other digital versions of the book on line. As of today, 2 Moon Press, the publisher of my book, is no longer in existence. We’re not sure what went on, but apparently it’s a potentially shady endeavor. A group of angry authors, all of us screwed by this company, are working on a potential class action suit against the former owners. Our day in court is coming up in August. I know that many copies of my book have been sold, as of this time, I have not seen a dime from the publisher for royalties.
In the meantime, my book was taken down from Kindle/Nook and wherever else I could find it. I have to republish and find a distributor for those that want an actual physical copy. I have a few available, so get em while they’re hot; they’re collector’s items now.
I will republish my book exclusively on Kindle some time later this week. The issues with the formatting will be gone and the book should be much more readable on your device with this version.  It’s been a journey and a whole lot of work to do this, but now the money will come directly to our family and not line the pockets of the two miscreants who scammed us.
I appreciate your support and I look forward to sharing with you the new and improved version of my book.

Tom
