Zottola Publishing and Tekumel Product   Message List  
Reply Message #27909 of 29044 |
Good Morning,
I have decided to discontinue producing Tekumel product. Once my current stock
of the novels and Mitlanyal are gone I will not be restocking my inventory. The
books are currently available on Amazon and also from Carl at Tita's.

I want to thank all of those who purchased our books over the last couple of
years it allowed us to produce what we did. However the last 2 years have seen a
significant drop in sales, which has been unable to pay down the debt the
company has incured.

I wish to thank all of those individuals who assisted in editing and such with
the books it was greatly appreciated.

thanks again for your patronage and support.


Joe Zottola
