Today I was browsing Amazon's kindle books, and I did a search for Stephen King, and I noticed a few books I never heard of that were published recently. I took a quick look and it seems there are a few authors (or one busy one) publishing books under the name Stephen King now, writing, according to reviews, very poor books filled with errors. Including a number of science fiction and horror stories and more strangely, a book about Rachel Dolezal.

Not sure with Sai King knows about this or not, but I thought I'd share.

(I just noticed one book, buried half-way down the page under Editorial reviews, indicates "Please Note: If you are looking for books by Stephen King, bestselling author of Doctor Sleep and The Shining, please visit his Author Page.")

Yep. It's apparently the guy's real name, so he can publish whatever he wants under that name.

Sort of like when Pete Best released an album called "Best of The Beatles", and nobody could sue, because his name was Best and he was in The Beatles, I guess.
Caveat emptor. A fool and his money...the Brooklyn Bridge...
