Piers Anthony has given me a quote about piracy of his books on iOffer
"This is surely pirated, as I don't even have 125 legitimate electronic works. I'll check it out. Thanks."
and also "Welcome to quote what little I said. It looks as if the pirate copied everything he could find, missing only a few collaborations and self-published titles. One, "The Toaster", is only a short story, never published separately. Odd.
We are checking into this, but it is the nature of such things that it is likely to vanish before any legal action can be taken."

Thank you for organizing the show, Rowena. I can't believe how many interesting topics we got covered in what seemed like a very short time indeed!
Serena,
Thank you!!! I know you are on a deadline, and it was immensely generous of you to step up, and to be there for me for the entire two hours.
I really appreciated it. The trouble with live radio at this time of year (June through November...LOL!!!) is that one never really knows when there might be a power outage or a thunderstorm or a cut cable owing to road construction, or confusion over a time zone, which might mean that a scheduled guest does not call in.
I'm not a great multi-tasker. Gosh! I hope the world did not hear my old printer when it suddenly picked up an incoming. I'll bet the world did!
