Normally, I don’t bitch much about my books being pirated. Yes, it’s annoying because those are lost sales, but I know people are broke and I have the hope that at some point those who download my work will eventually buy a legitimate copy.

That being said, I will not stand for it when unauthorized sites are SELLING my work. That’s not just lost income, that’s income that is being stolen from me and going into someone else’s pocket. This is my livelihood, and Lord knows it isn’t much but it helps to keep the cats fed and the bills paid. So please, only buy ebooks from legit sites like the publisher, Amazon (yeah, yeah, I know), B&N, Smashwords, Bookstrand, All Romance eBooks, Kobo, iTunes, etc. If a site advertises its ebooks as “much less than anywhere else,” you can guarantee that they’re pirated editions.

Off to send DMCA notices, grrrr…
