Writers and Lying

Even when you write fiction there should be a sense of integrity

the publishing bussiness has been wracked by a series of scandals relating to fake memoirs. Although I partially think it is there fault. The publishers did not invest time and resource checking the back story of the writers in question. If you choose authobigoraphy there should definately be some standards involved. This is in reference to the fake gang leader memior that proved to be a fraud. Really folks honesty, honesty and honesty is the best policy.
