At this point, I'm asking folks to join our group on Facebook<br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&ref=mf&gid=226143743896<br /><br />and to write letters of protest directly to Amazon customer support, bypassing the Amazon "update product" link which seems to only generate these stock responses.Win Scott Eckerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741672104139893249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11576493.post-62199928506986172832009-12-22T12:49:05.578-07:002009-12-22T12:49:05.578-07:006 months ago, you could find the anthology I contr...6 months ago, you could find the anthology I contributed to (The Black Garden, edited by Christopher Allan Death) by searching for my name on Amazon. Just yesterday, I noticed this was no longer the case as my name had been removed as one of the authors. I tried to reinstate my name, to no avail. I received the same e-mail this morning as you did, verbatim. I am really upset about this. <br /><br />I also noticed that Barnes and Noble has a similar issue, only listing one author from that anthology on its website. You can't find it by any of the other authors on there. I don't know what more I can do about this. Should I contact the editor and bring this to his attention? He may not know what's going on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07856346021932036387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11576493.post-62426462119700120182009-12-21T12:17:19.325-07:002009-12-21T12:17:19.325-07:00I am flabbergasted by this.
