    Steve,

    Based on what I’ve seen since I wrote that piece, I agree with you. The key word in your assertion is “professional,” and that’s what Kozlowski lacks as a “journalist.” In my opinion, he deals in wild speculations to generate traffic. If his wild speculations harm an author (like you) financially or otherwise, he’s opening himself up to libel lawsuits. I suppose his chutzpah in the face of that comes from the fact that he’s in Canada, and he’s attacked someone in another country. It’s difficult to prove “harm,” and pursuing a lawsuit across international borders is a bother. So, basically, he picks what he thinks are easy targets with the lowest chance of repercussions. Where I grew up, we’d call that cowardice.

    I’ve had my own problems with Michael Kozlowski, he has a habit of stealing copy written by other writers and not checking his facts. I agree with you that his punctuation and grammar suggests that he isn’t a professional journalist at all! http://stephenleatherpublishingebooks.blogspot.com/2015/09/michael-kozlowski-journalist-who-doesnt.html

    Doing some self research into current ereaders and books in general and came upon some information you may find interesting (my grandad always said “follow the money” ). http://www.brisio.com/news/brisio-innovations-executes-definitive-agreement-acquire-100-interest-oakbranch-media

    Thank you for presenting a well argued, thorough case against the vitriol of someone who has set himself up as a hanging judge. I would guess he dreams of glory and greatly overrates his own status. As for the quality of his writing – thank you for the verbatim extracts; I have now read enough to know that I have no desire to read any more of his ill constructed sentences and poor vocabulary.

    Yours humbly,
    A Plain Old Writer
