The highest form of flattery ......??

It is said that copying is the highest form of flattery........this may be true in some instances.

However when one discovers that a self-published book has been literally stolen and reproduced with a different cover design by someone  who takes false credit as being the publisher..........then something nasty is afoot.

I won't say more about this today but you can bet you will hear more about this down the road.

Even though my book has copyright, ISBN# and is  filed in our country's National Library.......someone has had the gall to steal my self-published story.

I am angry, disappointed, appalled and frustrated.

I cannot think of one positive attribute that I can offer to a downright thief.

Thieves are stealing books, music, art and all things creative.   We know this.   And when it hits this close to home it is shocking.

I trust this will never happen to you, my dear fellow writers.
