I read the “Look Inside” teaser parts on Amazon, yes… but that doesn’t work against the author unless they suck. Usually, reading the parts they allow just seals my fate, with the “Read it Now” button so easily clickable in my right margin. :grin:

I think pirates should face the same fate I have devised for those who write viruses… Everyone that they have negatively affected should get one free punch. (Just one, because otherwise it’s cruel.) In this case, everyone that they’ve affected starts with the author, goes to the publisher, editors, etc, and then goes to loyal fans who would miss out if the author gave up or slowed down.

I’m doing my best to indoctrinate my children as well. We’ll see if that – and many other life lessons – take. (fingers crossed)
