It has come to my attention that there is a site out there that has pirated my books and is offering them for those who do not wish to pay. That's fine and dandy, they are being downloaded by those who won't have paid anyway, even if there are no sites like that. Even so, there are some who MIGHT have bought the book if it were not for the fact that the pirate is offering them. Such a thing means a loss of revenue for the likes of myself who need to try and earn a living out of writing.
If it does continue then there is perhaps a case for not writing anything anymore and as such, this will deny future readers the pleasure of reading any future works of mine. This also applies to those who will want to write and do the same. In this situation, future potential Tolkiens', Tolstoys' and the like will never be discovered since their works will not see the light of day for fear of pirating. Your loss if you want a freebie.
On the more positive side, those who have downloaded my books have given them higher than average ratings so they must be good! And the fact that rather a lot of people have downloaded them also augers well for liking my books.
So with this in mind, it would be best in all honesty to buy the books from Amazon and enjoy them legitimately and I will then have the courage to write more works for you to enjoy. If you just want them free, why should I do all this hard work for nothing?
So please support me in my endeavors, if you do, this will enable me to become a better writer and to put out more works.
