Unveiling Shocking Secrets: What Times Book Publishing and Ink Shelf Studios Don’t Want You to Know

I received this heartbreaking email yesterday:

It has been suggested I contact you with what I perceive to be illegal or at least unethical business practices of Ink Shelf Studios, LLC, 16 Somer’s Lane, Commack, NY 11725 11725 and Times Book Publishing, 353 Lexington Avenue, 4th Floor, Suite 400, New York, NY 10016.

I secured their services to print and sell my self published book, (TITLE REMOVED BY WRITERSWEEKLY), around June 24, 2025. They kept charging me one fee after another, accumulating to $187,846 and would not release my royalties $173,047 (to date). They refused to pay me my legally due royalties unless I wired them an additional $95,309 for something about 190 global platforms that they did not explain very clearly and I do not remember authorizing, telling me that it would be returned to me in 48 hours which does not sound right to me. Since I refused to send them that money by the end of the day (Aug 27) they told that I will receive no money and they will appropriate my rights to my book leaving me with nothing. I am 82 years old, this is my first and only book and I am the victim here. I believe this is worth some serious investigating because they have already defrauded me once with a bogus offer from Barnes and Noble to purchase 10,000 books, which I paid $34,000 for printing/shipping and checking with Barnes and Noble afterwards, they said they never do this. That it is a way to get an author to print more books.
