Someone Is Selling a $20 Book Under My Name on Amazon & I Feel Awful

This ‘doppelganging’ activity can happen to any writer

If you’ve been following my work, you might notice a decrease in the number of articles I published lately.

The main reason? Somebody created a shitty book under my name and sell it on Amazon.

The shitty part of it all? This person sells it for $20.

$20 e-book for only 66 pages? Get out of here.

I know it’s making sales and I’m honestly feeling really really sorry for those who spent their hard-earned money to buy the book.

The funny thing is, I didn’t find out about this until March — despite the book being published in September 2022.

One evening, my friend typed my name on Google Search and she was upset because,

“How could you publish a freaking book and never told me?”

I was as surprised as her.

I mean, whose book is that? ’Cause last time I checked, I didn’t write a goddamn book with that cringy title.

So I went to the e-book version and looked at the sample.

Oh Gosh.
