I just need to vent! I was updating my website, so people who go to my site to find my book can just click some links and poof be where they should be and I found TWO sites offering my book in PDF format for FREE! I blew a gasket as I NEVER authorized that! With floundering royalties I think i just found out WHY!!! I shall shut those down-if it kills me. If someone needs a free book sheesh I would just send them one myself! This just frosts me. . . If anyone knows a place to report this kind of theft I'm all eyes! In the meantime I am resarching what to do. . .

Uh, that's awful, Phantom! Unfortunately the only thing I can think of is possibly complaining to the host-website that is running the material. Though that probably wouldn't do anything. But, uh! I hope you succeed in shutting it down.

Thanks. I found out most of these sites actually don't have the material but get people to give out their CC number. It is not as bad as it originally seemed as far as stolen material.

We'll at least they aren't trying to pirate your work. But that still isn't good. How odd though...

If I ever went to get a free ebook and someone asked for my CC # I'd say ok no thanks. . .but many do fall for it. iI hate to think someone is usinng my work to perpetrate such a scam. .

Yah, I know I wouldn't like it if someone used my work to scam someone.
