Bookinistika: eBook Piracy Website With An Attitude



This morning I was alerted by a post in one of the writers groups I belong to on Facebook - about a website that's been ripping off dozens of authors by selling their books from their website without due process or authorization, and keeping the profits for themselves. The name of the website - Bookinistika.

I decided to hop along and check their website out, and to see if there were any of mine up there. I wasn't to be disappointed.

Blasphemous Rumors



I know I have been quiet lately, but it's just because I've taken the weekend off. Honest. Rumors of my being "raptured" are greatly exaggerated - in fact, I am still here, and so is my underwear drawer, which still needs tidying. 

Damn.

I am typing this article on the morning of Sunday May 22, 2011. I am still here, and so is the house I live in - and the cars parked outside tell me the businesses across the road are doing their usual booming breakfasting business. The city around me is not on fire and there haven't been any tsunamis during the night. My mother woke up this morning, as usual, and shuffled past my door - so I knew she was still here. All is right with the world then.
