This book, supposedly by me, is being advertised on Amazon:
This comes from Amazon.
There is only one problem. There is no such book. I cancelled the contract to write it in 2022 when I had long Covid and had no energy to work on it over very many months. Once I got better I decided not to revive the project because there was by then too much else to do in catching up with time lost. So, this book does not exist. I have told Amazon and Wiley. Meanwhile, please do not try to buy it. You will be very disappointed if you do.
Thanks for reading this post.

I am absolutely astonished at this deception. I would have bought this on my reading of your work on this blog and I find it hard to believe that they have done this without your consent. It’s bloody galling and you can bet that any advance sales money would have been hard to retrieve if at all. This is also a reputation issue as people who do not know you and your honesty may blame you for this calumny.
I have told Wiley to sort this.
This is not the first time Wiley has “published” a nonexistent book. I would have thought they would have got their act together by now, but apparently not.
It is Wiley who are to blame
Just changed my name to Richard Murphy.
Finished first draft!
Pasted in two hundred of your best posts!

A polite note has been sent
A good approach.
Thanks for the heads up on this fakery.
I`d be tempted to buy just to see what (if anything) turns up.
