Agreed, @walterkirn . From this day out, every author should add a restriction in their publishing contracts that specifies that the company is forbidden to vandalize text in current and future works. And if the publisher doesn’t agree, find a new one that will.

Love the Joe Pickett novels but Storm Watch is too political. It’s easy to see where the ideologies of @cjboxauthor lie. Makes me sad and disappointed. Reading for me is enjoyment and escape, not a political lecture, idolization or indoctrination.
