Plaigarism alert - GM stories

[alex_d]

Anyone who has published GM stories on this site or any other free sites might want to check out Amazon, Barnes and Noble etc for "J.L David" who in June 2014 has published a load of stories that aren't his, including an old one of mine. I don't much care if someone passes off my work as their own if it's on some other free site but I'm a bit pissed off about someone making money off it.

Titles

Quick check of his kindle books include following titles:

Partners in Crime
Sins & Lovers
How Straight is Straight
In the Trenches
Life of Bondage
My Journey to Paradise
Sex at the Beach
Reunion

Seems he's taken a little from every type of GM story (Romance, BDSM, etc.). He might have changed the titles, but often these thieves just put the book up with no changes thinking no one will look.

IDs on which ones are whose at Lit. would be helpful. If true, this isn't just J.L. Davis, as there are books listed that are coauthored with Gay Romance, Romance Gay, or T.L. Stowe (at least). From descriptions, none seem to be mine, but I'll keep an eye on it.

As well as the above, he's also published the following:

Best Friends
The Brotherhood
A Chance Meeting
Army Lust
The Night Strip
By the Stream
Exploring the River
A Dark Secret

Those are the ones I've found at Barnes and Noble anyway. I know that How Straight is Straight is somewhere on Lit because I remember reading it - not sure about the others but thought I'd give a heads up anyway.

You noted that one of yours was republished. If you just remember having seen the stories here under another name, it could still be the same author. I publish under different names than I post here at Lit. and many of my published ones are available here.

I'm aware he might be the author of some of them but at the same time I find it unlikely that mine's the only one he's nicked. And such an old, badly-written one too, wish I'd thought to publish it myself

Google search a paragraph from the look inside sample and see what comes up/

Many of Turner's were posted in May June, must be the season for these jerks.
