Thank you for that, Len; that is so heartbreaking for your mom! It must have been so hard for her. It's one thing to get a bad review, or to have a book flop (it happens) and quite another to have it stolen. As you mentioned, they took the titles (which you can't copyright) and the general, but not the specific, idea. I published the two books recently with new titles. But it's not Scholastic (who stole the general concept). It's a tough world out there! Thank you for writing. It does help to have an agent, but I do better selling my own work.
