Our store has been cloned by a scam artist. Meaning it has been copied in its entirety and reproduced elsewhere. It is down now thanks to the quick action by the registrar and vigilance of the BDH.
Unfortunately, in the age of AI it is very easy to copy sites. This will happen again.
PURCHASE ONLY FROM THE REAL STORE
At the top of this site you will see a banner that says OUR STORE.
Use ONLY that link, directly from our site.
The real store has been unlocked pending the investigation. We are super not ready to open, so the merch sales are locked for now but books are available. I will try to work on it this weekend, so we at least have something.
That thing about cloning myself – I really need to look into it.
PS: Mod R takeover!
While Ilona cracks down on somatic cell nuclear transfer, I am taking over to remind everyone there will be a:
Zoom Q&A tomorrow with Ilona and Gordon at 10:00 am Central Time
to celebrate the release of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me!
For everyone who did not manage to get a space: as always the recording will be uploaded to the IA moderator account on YouTube early next week with captions enabled.
YouTube’s own transcript function is now good enough that I won’t be posting a separate transcript this time. Spoiler discussion will be limited by House Andrews’ desire to protect us from ourselves and by the covenant of the traditional publisher contract.
See you tomorrow!
Happy Friday!
Oh no I’m so sorry! That is incredibly frustrating!
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, NOT. The world is a crazy place!
Ughhh people suck! Thanks for taking care of us, and so fast!
Like any good BDH member, I read, was sad… then zeroed in on the Zoom meeting tomorrow and squee! I can’t wait to watch it next week. For those of you who are able to make it, hooray!
Good grief, like y’all don’t have enough to do.
It would be nice if there were a scammer-eating dragon.
Soooo sorry to hear this, how despicable of them.
Well done to those who reported it. You both deserve a medal 🏅 for all your hard work and Mod R as she is Super Mod to us all
Very, very sorry this happened to you. I have a link on my blog for people to buy The Inheritance. I double-checked and it still goes to your store and the right book. It’s not being redirected or anything like that so I’ll leave it. If you need me to take it down, I certainly can. I can direct people to the blog and tell them to look for the link at the top.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do–post about it, post to the front, not post, etc.
Thank you Maria, that’s perfect 🙂
Boo Hiss! May the store fakers be visited at night by Saiman, robbed by ferrets, threatened by Dushegubs, and then run over by a stampeding Horde!
+1
I have stopped being surprised, sad as that is, by the lengths some people will go to to scam other people. I’m sorry you have another thing to deal with on top of everything else.
On the plus side, I’m very excited for tomorrow’s Zoom! Gordon, please don’t let us down! 😘
Omg so sorry! Yet another thing to deal with.
Two comments:
1. Where is a fire-breathing dragon when you need one?
2. Can’t make the Zoom but looking forward to the YouTube.
And you know that the BDH is ready to take up arms anytime. ModR just has to call us to the field and off we will go.
