Dear Readers,

I am appalled and horrified to announce that Ive been plagiarized.

Im appalled that anyone would stoop so low as to do that, and insulted that my hard work has been demeaned so. Im horrified that, after so many beloved years on fictionpress with you all, Im leaving like this.

I am leaving this up because, one, I want access to the heartfelt reviews that so many of you wrote to me, because I wish to acknowledge, thank, and find inspiration in the time you took to tell me how my stories have made you feel. Two, I wish for this to serve as a warning concerning your own writing.

Thank you all for the priceless gifts you have given me. I will never forget you all.

Im pretty sure that I will never, ever post work up like this again. What I have been doing is contemplating making my short stories accessible for a free e-book download, but Im utterly numb from this, so that might take some time, assuming I ever do.

On my profile will be any updates of free downloads, publication, etc. Dont expect anything soon.

Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you all. It is a true pity that a vast minority has made it so difficult for the majority to enjoy an honest community of readers and writers.
