I was commissioned by the editor of Popular Crafts magazine in July of 2005 to write thirteen articles for a Christmas special magazine which was circulated in November of that year with successful sales. I was advised, as usual, of my fees and sent in my invoice. Since that day, despite writing to the principals concerned with the Highbury House Publications demise, I have not received ANY communication from ANYONE whatsoever. I find the whole episode deplorable and am disgusted at the sharp practices that were used to cheat freelance writers out of their fees. L.J.Mason
