Censorship begins, thanks to England...

I'm not going to rehash the insanity of Amazon, B&N, Kobo, and W H Smith's ridiculous reactions to the criticism of a hypocritical UK right-wing-nut's so-called magazine over erotica.  Here are links to a number of better-written articles about it all.

I'm getting auto-reply responses from Kindle, which completely ignore my questions about why my books were vetted by them and found to meet their guidelines, but now are suddenly being pulled from circulation.

As for the creep who got this started...I get the feeling he's very pleased with the effect he's having.
