I hope all authors reading will rush out immediately and register all their books with the copyright office if they haven't already. <br /><br />In an Amazon forum Mr. Wagner stated that he contacted all authors involved and explained what happened (his ghostwriter did it!), but I haven't heard from him. I also wonder how he'd explain the things his editor said. His listing for The Telling is still up at Amazon, though marked as unavailable. My takedown requests to Amazon haven't been heeded.

I recently read a blog story from one of the artists at Dreamspinner press about someone blatantly copying his art work (and others) and selling it on Ebay.

I'm not sure what will happen, but the other three stolen books were through publishers, I believe. I'm sure the publishers have legal teams to handle this sort of thing.

So he sees a way to lift a book to make a buck. What a prince. <br /><br />That he actually tried to concoct some kind of defense is laughable. No agent would ever suggest putting a work up for free. Thank goodness people caught onto this idiot so quickly. And the publicity might actually prompt some action this time. Amazon and other sellers of book really need to start checking for plagiarism. If colleges can do it, why not businesses who make money off intellectual property? Surely they have some responsibility to make sure they're not offering stolen goods?Tali Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01580510151991448014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343625925902939495.post-76604792682981145292013-07-17T05:22:08.280-07:002013-07-17T05:22:08.280-07:00Dear Author has picked up the story:
