This is always a helpful series I bookmark, Debbie. Phishing and stealing, not a good thing ever and unfortunate how 2020 was worse. I have never published a book, although I have many friends who are published writers. I am thinking about someone right now, and I will forward to them. Many great articles in this post. Thank you for compiling and sharing.
