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!

It's good of you to gather the info like this and show your support!
Right on. We need to remain vigilant and commited to exposing idiots and theives who try to profit or gain glory from others hard toil.
Jodi, I've ordered a pallet of pitchforks ready to be delivered:)
I am lucky to be a part of such a great community of writers and your support in A.Z. and the rest of us is always and deeply appreciated.
~ and your blog gets better everytime I visit it, love the graphics.
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.
=)
Ha ha ;)
