Urgent Message from James Alexander Thom
A situation has arisen which jeopardizes my ability to continue writing for a living.
At recent Book Signings people have brought copies of my latest book, St. Patrick's Battalion which was purchased on the internet.
Several of these books were Counterfeit.
This means my publisher Ballantine Div. of Random House did not print them, did not sell them to the internet source, and I get no royalties thus I can no longer live and make my living writing novels.
It is critical that I gain possession of 3 copies of these counterfeits so my publisher, agent, Author's Guild & attorneys can proceed discovering these thieves, prosecute them & protect my livelihood.
Identifying Markers on Counterfeits of
Counterfeit- dust jacket art is reddish
Authentic- the dust jacket art is orangish
Counterfeit Book is at least one inch shorter and narrower than the authentic book.
Every Publisher's Page has a line of number's in a sequence that diminishes. The last number of that line indicates the Print Run. This line is totally missing in the counterfeit book.
It is suspected that WARRIOR WOMAN was also
pirated/ counterfeit.
Please Send Your Counterfeit directly to me for an immediate replacement with an authentic book.
If you have any questions please contact me as soon as possible.
