I'd like someone to explain to me why some people deem it okay to steal money from me and other authors. They think nothing of downloading our books off of filesharing sites for free. The publisher receives no payment, so I, the author, do not get p…

Explain it to me.

I'd like someone to explain to me why some people deem it okay to steal money from me and other authors. They think nothing of downloading our books off of filesharing sites for free. The publisher receives no payment, so I, the author, do not get paid for my work.

I've been asked/told:

Votes

My book, Fugue Macabre: Ghost Dance, has been nominated for a best read for 2009 on the Preditor and Editor Web site under the Si/fi genre. I would appreciate it if you would consider voting for my novel. If there is another novel you prefer to vote for in the sifi genre, my book has also been listed under horror. Please vote, even if it's not for me.

Char,

I just updated your cover art, along with a bunch of other stuff. I couldn't remember, but didn't you want me to remove the Amazon and B&N links for the time being till Fugue Macabre gets re-released? Let me know.
