3 Days! and a story of plagiarism

Three more days to sign up on patreon and receive "The Upside-down Fish"! This is my original poem/coloring book which was plagiarized by a major publisher, Sky Pony Press. I sent copies of the original handwritten manuscript and art to many publishers and even to Ellen DeGeneres with no response. I soon chose to publish it myself through an amazon subsidiary and thought of starting my own publishing company. One day, on a whim, I decided to look up the title to see if anyone had taken notice and found that one of the publishers had stolen the idea, reworded the story (not enough to hide where they got it from), and published it under a different "author". I reached out very politely as a matter of intellectual integrity with legal aid to assist in finding a solution to the blatant skulduggery. The reply was minimal and dismissive. I have still never received any more than an unconcerned denial. This drove further my idea to create, with my amazing wife, a publishing studio which became Tater Tot Sunday Publishing!

"The Upside-down Fish" is available in numerous translations- Gàidhlig, Français, Español, and Türkçe (which for some reason is not available everywhere)

Best wishes to everyone! I'm excited for everyone who gets to read these books
