--this would be a good time to stop.

I've gotten e-mails from multiple women in the past few days about a guy in Houston passing himself off as me. He apparently goes so far as to tell these women that the author photo inside the back covers of my books is a picture of a model. Well gee, maybe I should be flattered. I'm not.

Whoever this person is, he'd be well-advised to knock it the hell off while it's still apparently just a dumb pick-up routine. If it continues, this will become a matter for law enforcement to deal with.
