Make Millions From Your PRISON CELL.......2005-07-08

By MICHAEL HILL, Associated Press Writer Thu Jul 7, 5:15 PM ET The author of this book, is accused of defrauding writers as both an agent and a publisher. Ivery (56) not only ran Press-TIGE out of the sleepy town of Catskill, N.Y., but posed as a literary agent named Kelly O'Donnell, federal prosecutors say. A federal indictment last month charged Ivery with defrauding 15 writers from 1997 through 2002. Advocates for writers say such operations prey on would-be authors.
Clients worked with both O'Donnell and Ivery without being told they were the same person. After the Sept. 11 attacks, Ivery told writers that O'Donnell died in the World Trade Center and O'Donnell said Ivery died in the attacks, according to A.C. Crispin, a science fiction writer who co-founded the scam-busting Writer Beware Web site, which is run by the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America.
Writers who sent manuscripts to O'Donnell/Ivery were promised such perks as book signings and TV talk show appearances. But they had to pay fees for representation and editing. Writers wondering about publication delays were told there were problems with illustrations, printers or computer viruses, according to prosecutors.
Ivery, whose own author credits include "Make Millions From Your Kitchen Table," said her lawyer advised her not to comment. Her lawyer, Richard Mott, did not return calls Wednesday and Thursday seeking comment.
