I have no idea why it didn't publish.<br /><br />Plagiarism is a difficult thing because it's not about ideas and thoughts about about stealing the actual words and story points. As for republishing the same book with a new title and a different author name... I think I have ambivalence. I can see, to a certain extent, why someone would want to do that -and- why it might not matter so much for a new, struggling author. On the other hand... I'd be pissed, too, if I bought a book I thought sounded good only to find out that it was because it was the same book I already read.<br /><br />I guess it is difficult to pinpoint every time. I too would be very annoyed at buying the same book twice.<br />Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-53597081475661392402013-11-06T17:18:47.560-05:002013-11-06T17:18:47.560-05:00Me too Alex, on my Kindle.

I was sure I had read it back then. I reread it and time has altered my memory, so it was like 'new' to me. And I enjoyed it.
