If you do follow, I may take a bit of time as I'm about to expose a bestselling author as a racist.

Stephen Leather is one of UK's best-known authors. Last year he sold more ebooks worldwide than any other British author except Lee Child.

As you may know, he announced on a panel at Harrogate that he uses fake identities online to promote his books. See further down my timeline

But Stephen Leather is also a racist, and a very vile one indeed. And I can prove it, and now will.

I've taken screenshots of all the links I am about to provide, but I'd appreciate if you do, too. He is bound to delete them.

They're all the British author @stephenleather, and I can prove it. They are very very racist. Samples of individual posts coming now.

If you click on 'stephenleather' on this link, it takes you to 'Joe King's profile: they're the same person: http://uk.messages.finance.yahoo.com/Your_Money/threadview?m=te&bn=ukf-property&tid=27922&mid=-1&tof=41&so=E&rt=2&frt=2&off=1#-1

Here's a discussion on Amazon discussing these comments and others, but many remarks have been deleted: http://www.amazon.co.uk/forum/kindle/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg1?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx3IRFCNF3E5K2W&cdPage=1&cdSort=oldest&cdThread=Tx4LQGO5NV4UV9

But you can see from that discussion that someone called 'Big Nick Palmer' left an abusive post on another writer's blog.

The writer googled 'Big Nick Palmer' (BNP, of course), and came to the discussion where Palmer had changed his name to stephenleather

'BIg Nick Palmer' had made references on the writer's blog to the Amazon forums. It is unlikely two Stephen Leathers would, but possible.

That narrows to impossible due to this comment by 'stephenleather': 'There's a park opposite my flat in Grantully Road' http://uk.messages.finance.yahoo.com/Your_Money/threadview?bn=UKF-Property&tid=27922&mid=28080
