I was just informed that a website called highcopy.net is illegally offering hundreds of ebooks, including My Life as a Myth, supposedly for "free." These sorts of sites fall into one of two categories: 1) They actually have the file and allow people to download it for a fee, which the site pockets, thus robbing the author and legal publisher of royalties, or 2) They fool people into giving them credit information and outright rob the would-be reader. Either way, they're crooked operations and are to be avoided at all costs.

Don't let yourself (or your favorite authors) get ripped off by unscrupulous websites. Buy your books directly from the publisher (like NineStar Press), or from a reputable and validly authorized vendor, like Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
