No credit was given to me nor was permission given to use my work. Kevin, Get a lawyer and sue for plagiarism. If he extracted more than a paragraph you have a case. I'd find out if there is anything to sue for, however. I'm glad you posted this and I wish you would make your book available again. I'll get up there one day.
