It took them several days, but Amazon killed off all the stories from 'Belinda Jacobs'. From what I and several other authors could figure out he/she had been mining SOL for all the stories posted. Now they are all gone, as is the author page. I am sure, however, that this individual will simply republish them with new titles and a new name. As the saying goes, stolen goods are never sold at a loss. We'll just have to see.
As for recompense from Amazon, I am not holding my breath. A week after the Belinda Jacobs page and stories were removed, I received the following message from Amazon: "We reviewed the additional information regarding your identity and could not verify the information you have provided." So, they couldn't verify who I was and couldn't verify the theft, but the page and stories are gone. Color me confused.
It's time to start uploading the new story. As always, I plan to publish Tuesdays and Fridays. It will probably take 4-5 weeks to put it all up. Sorry if that seems slow, but feel free to attempt to bribe me to send you a copy. As Carl Buckman once said, 'I can't be bought, but I can certainly be rented!' (There are some instructions in the end note. Email me for more.)
