Well hopefully not!!!

Not a very professional first impression they've left me with. I have so much else to read right now, so if these aren't any good, I can read other thing...

As the owner of Gryphonwood, this is obviously of concern to me, and I appreciate you pointing it out. It's not the proper first impression, and is no way indicative of the quality of our authors' work. I hope you will give the books a try. The way Smashwords is set up, the publisher creates an account, and then creates "Ghost Author" profiles for each individual author. As I look at the Gryphonwood account, all the books are properly linked to their respective authors. The only book that should show "Gryphonwood" as the author is the "You Don't Know What You've Got..." anthology. It must be a function of Smashwords' metadata tagging. I will follow up on it. Thanks again for pointing it out.
