Hello!

This site still receives a lotta traffic. Thank you for your continued interest.

I am still currently writing horror/suspense/pulp only in longer form. Visit my alter ego HERE for continued updates and current fiction. And please, you can call me Jodi or whatever you called me before I went all nom de plume.

Thanks for the years of loyal friendship and support.

Commitment To Integrity

Well, I just had to write something about the plagiarism Angel has exposed. It is Angel Zapata’s and others words that were stolen, so I feel they should be the spotlights as to the outrage. So I humbly pledge my support with them and leave you with links to their blogs so you can read up what they have found.


Thank you to Angel for the detective work he did on tracking this guy down and starting an avalanche of support the writing community has pledged for each other and the integrity of each of our words.


Please visit their sites and pledge your support!

A pallet of pitchforks? Right on Erin. Your blog piece about plagiarism is excellent and write on. I think everyone should read it along with Angel's.

Laura - I think it's amazing how much support there is out there.

Barry - vigilant is a fantastic word when it comes to plagiarism!

Thanks guys. I know there are about a dozen other blogs with the same stuff, but I felt I should offer my support as well.

Thanks for writing this, Jodi. You were my initial soundboard and you didn't steer me wrong.

And thanks for calling me a detective. It sounds so much better than when I'm called a dick.
