Authors work hard to write books for our readers. We write not only because we love what we do, but also to help pay our household expenses, just like you work for your paycheck. When e-books are stolen and uploaded to those pirate sites for members to download for FREE (and countless copies of my e-books have been stolen), none of those sites pay the author a dime because those books were stolen and put up for FREE downloads. I hope my loyal readers are not members of those pirate sites and will continue to support me and other authors and pay for a legitimate copy of our work.
