CENSORED
BY AMAZON
As
many of you know my latest patriotic novel “The Rag” has been selling very
well, particularly as an e-book on Amazon Kindle and nook on Barnes &
Noble. Sales have in fact, been soaring in spite of or perhaps because of the
hysterical attacks by the left. I had also recently posted my popular booklet
“Our Constitution” as a Kindle edition, and it was also selling well. However,
just tonight I was informed by Amazon that they cancelled all sales of “Our
Constitution” and closed the website for the booklet.
They did not inform me, but I learned that
they had also cancelled the sales of all Kindle editions of “The Rag” my other
patriotic novel, “Amayehli: A Story of America” and my nonfiction historical
book about my father’s unit in WW II “The Mortarmen”. They claim the reason for
this is because my name is the same as the mystery writer Michael Connelly. They
are demanding that I change my name, something they know I cannot and will not
do.
I have had books for sale on Amazon
since 1999 and my photo and biography are clearly different from the mystery
writer. Therefore, I suspect that the books have been censored by Amazon,
because they are not “politically correct”. The CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, is a
champion of left wing causes and recently purchased the ultra-leftist
Washington Post. He was also a big supporter of Hillary Clinton, and that makes
the timing of Amazon’s censorship of me even more suspicious.
This unprecedented move against me and
books will potentially cost me thousands of dollars and deprive many Americans
of the right to read my books.
I
am asking for your support here. I have written a strong letter to Amazon
threatening litigation, and would appreciate it if my friends would contact
Amazon and demand they reinstate my books. The books are still available in
paperback, but I don’t expect that to last for long.
In the meantime, if you want to order
a copy of “The Rag” or any other of my books don’t do it through Amazon, go to
my website at Michael
Connelly blog, click on the page of the
book you want and follow the ordering instructions. Thank you for your support.
If the liberals can get away with this we can be sure they will try to punish
others who do not support their radical agenda.
Michael Connelly
