I have set up Goggle Alerts to send me anything with my name in it. I get a lot of Tom Alexander's that aren't me but it is automated and I don't have to rely on my old and fading memory to do it on a regular basis--Google does it for me. I also use Google Alerts to send me news stories that are of interest to me for future leads on stories that I would write.

To set up Google Alerts go to:

I Goggle my name monthly to find out who has been using my stuff unauthorized and to see what is being written about what I write and photograph. Today I found this:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00084C84Y/ref%3Dnosim/ hobbydostore-2/103-0149380-6051050

I immediately contacted Mother Earth News; they were as surprised as me. The legal department will take it from here, but damage is already done. Someone is selling my articles for almost $6 a pop without my permission or the magazine's! Neither of us is getting a royalty. This is the first time I've seen a scam like this.

I urge you all to Google your name. If you find something similar, please share it with us.
