If those are indeed your books, the overwhelming reaction as been to

You're entitled that opinion. I see no reason to argue with you about
it.
 

At minimum, an author's desire is to
have someone read what they've written.

 
Nope ..  You assume that because you simply can't imagine someone
doing such a thing for their own enjoyment rather than doing it to get
acceptance and admiration.

Sorry, that makes no sense. If you wrote _only_ for your own enjoyment,
you wouldn't have taken the trouble to self-publish your books.

Note that many people do write just for themselves - often in the form
of diaries or journals. Or in the poetry world, there's the famous Emily
Dickinson, who wrote many hundreds of now-revered poems with no thought
of publishing more than a few.

It seems very likely that you self-published hoping for acceptance or
adulation. When your books failed to sell, as they obviously did, you
told yourself, and then us, that you don't care. It's a literally
unbelievable rationalization of your failure.

But you haven't shown those are your books. You've already said the
authors' names do not match yours.

Gosh, such bragging! But still, we don't know that was based on truth.
As I recall, you once said something like "Claims of having done
something are not documentation." We don't even know that you wrote that
little bio, or that the photo is really you.

As I said, I'm just noting that you fail to meet your own standards. But
if your claims do turn out to be true, they show only that you're a
failed self-published author.

Perhaps you should follow Emily's example. Write _only_ for your own
enjoyment. Maybe you'll get lucky as she did, and actually get published
after you die.

Wow!...  I mean, just, wow!....  I didn't realize that discovering
that I did indeed write several books was going to anger you so much,
but remember, it was you that wanted documentation.

I was perfectly happy just saying I enjoyed writing.

At the very least, you now know what real documentation is.

As is usually the case with insignificant little fizzles like you,
your petty insults say much more about you, than about me.

At any rate, your opinions of me and what I do are of no concern to me
and I have no interest in arguing with you about them.
