Omachuck: Blog

This feels like maybe I'm getting hysterical - but really I'm just pissed.

A reader sent the following in response to my last blog:

"I went on books.google.com to check both this Martin Ycaza alias (at least I'm assuming it is)as well as the Hooriya Ahmed thief. I found the books that were listed on Amazon on there as well.

Please repost this for all the authors to see.

Let's get these fuckin' theives!"

So I did some more poking and found the jackasses Amazon version reviewed on Goodreads along with a load of others. Looks like the problem is far beyond Amazon...

These jerks are stealing a lot. If we have someone who is an attorney, it might be worth sending Amazon a cease and desist letter or even filing a class action suite on behalf of all victimized SOL authors.

The latest that I found is Al Steiner's. https://www.amazon.com/Babysitter-Adults-Only-Martin-Ycaza-ebook/dp/B01N3Y411C/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1489765236&sr=1-1

I just visited Amazon and wrote my own condemnation of the scumbag Hooriya Ahmed for plagiarizing/stealing Stupid Boy.

I checked to see if there were other listings with him as author. Looks like the jackass has ripped off other books. You might want to check.

Yesterday, I finished the initial draft of Pēteris, my detour into Lazlo Zalezac's Damsel In Distress Universe, and this morning I sent it off to be sanity checked by my first readers. It is a little over 100 WORD pages long - my longest story to date. Accordingly, I anticipate at least two weeks before I get comments, make changes, and get a final proofread.

As in my Swarm Cycle stories, I ask some of the questions that I wondered about. For example, 'Why is it necessary for cock burners to also have their pussies burned?' or 'Why are so many Caretakers trained in the martial arts but none of the Damsels?'

I won't promise answers, but asking the questions was fun and instructive. And just maybe, there are some answers...

And whose 'cute little butt' is frequently cuddled up to Pēteris in the night, and what does he do about that?

You might want to refresh your memory by reading Lazlo's excellent stories.

Stay tuned.

Thanks to reader x37 a number of typos were identified, corrected, and placed in the queue for posting. Inkie remains the same otherwise.

My thanks to the folks who rated the last two Harem Tales. If you checked, Inkie has the highest rating, and I think is my favorite as well.

Pēteris my work-in-progress in the Damsel In Distress Universe is proceeding. It is already approaching my longest story to date, and Pēteris hasn't yet left the town where he entered Chaos. Two Companions, a reluctant (maybe she's shy) Caretaker, and three saddle bags full of money. I hope I can keep you interested.

Reminder: The nominations are open for Clitorides Awards. I've nominated a few and need to finish up. Remember that the stories can be published elsewhere, not just on SOL.
