Shortly after I published my first book, under my own name, somebody released a bunch of erotic fiction using my real name as their pseudonym.

It is difficult for me to point people at my books on Amazon as they will search and find these embarrassing erotic books in the same list. Is there anything I can do (legally) to get this person to change their pseudonym?

I am not sure it if is relevant, and coincidences to happen of course, but the timing, only 2 months after I published my first book, may be significant and seems at best mischievous...

Any advice much appreciated!
