Google Alerts gave me a link to an 'interview' with me only I never answered the questions and it mentions books I didn't write. It's sort of funny, but mostly weird. Anyone had this happen to you before? Maggie I saw you were interviewed as well, you might want to check it out in case you got

NO! I was going to say it was your best, most intellectual interview yet. Ugh!

LOL. I'm very curious to ready my book "Fly Me to the Moon" it sounds hot!

Ummm...weird! What exactly is the point of a fake interview?

It's a link farm. They get money from the advertising they run on the site, so they put in fake content to get readers to come. USUALLY, the "interviews" and articles that show up on these sites are pulled automatically, generated automatically, which result in some deliciously bizarre and hallucinogenic articles that are in English but totally nonsensical. Looks like this is an entry level link farmer who isn't bright enough to run scripts and is just C&Ping to get content.

Thanks for the explanation--I'd never heard of that. It is rather humorous. The author used some questions I'd answered in interviews before, just not the answers I'd given.

I love the bit about my "single-mother".

=) Hey at least you all made the list of some really cool authors, worthy of attracting advertising! I saw Carrie Jones on there and Heather Brewer too.

Too bad on the phony answers though. =(
