A New Scam with Your Royalties

I Goggle my name monthly to find out who has been using my stuff unauthorized and to see what is being written about what I write and photograph. Today I found this:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00084C84Y/ref%3Dnosim/hobbydostore-2/103-0149380-6051050

I immediately contacted Mother Earth News; they were as surprised as me. The legal department will take it from here, but damage is already done. Someone is selling my articles for almost $6 a pop without my permission or the magazine's! Neither of us is getting a royalty. This is the first time I've seen a scam like this.

I urge you all to Google your name. If you find something similar, please share it with us.
