Short ranty thread: This? This is a massive problem that @Amazon needs to address: nytimes.com/2019/06/23/tec…
In addition to fake book issue, some books that look to the uninitiated like they are mine are actually "summary books". This book is somehow linked to my ratings so it looks like it has thousands of positive reviews. The summary book? Is more expensive than my book. 
Sometimes I can only tell the books are unauthorized because someone sends me pictures of a copy that is obviously poorly done or printed incorrectly. Right now on my coloring book there is an option to by a spiral bound copy. My publisher doesn't make a spiral bound version.
It could be worse. My friend @BreneBrown has had books created under her name that she didn't even write. Some of them filled with hateful bullshit.
And @BreneBrown and I have great publishers to work on our behalf. Many authors don't have that.
I don't hate Amazon (even though as a future indie bookseller I think I'm supposed to) but I do expect them to fix this issue. For the sake of readers and authors and publishers, and honestly themselves bc I think this will eventually impact their sales.
This can happen to any author and any book. Remember Laura, who helped me did up my dead dog? Her sister @Tish_H_Warren lost half of her book sales to pirated books: christianitytoday.com/news/2019/july…
*dig* up my dead dog, that is. Who "dids" up a dead dog? THAT WOULD BE CRAZY.
