This happens: grifters build a copy of a book, slap a *40% OFF* medallion on the cover, then list it for sale under a name that looks like the author, but with a unicode homograph replacing a letter. This is close enough to show up in bookstore searches, so a bunch of readers get sucked in the 40% OFF label and give money to a crook.

As soon as my publisher tells Amazon or Apple or whoever they yank it off sale, but by then it's too late.

We’re supposed to believe this was a ”bug”? 😂

Maybe in the eavesdropping definition of that word.

The sanctions were part of legislation that was named after Senator #LindseyGraham, the South Carolina Republican who died in July.

Such betrayal. Treasonous.
