Steve Ammidown (@romancehistorian on instagram) just posted a reel where he talks about an author who, in the *1970s*, stopped writing for Mills & Boons and Harlequin (which was then M&B's USA arm), and, later on, with Silhouette, because they were cheating her, and about a hundred other writers, off royalties on their US reprints through Harlequin.

As always: authors, beware; it's not just small indies who'll defraud you.
