Jeremy Duns (born 10 December 1973)[1] is a British author. Born in Manchester, Duns and his family reside in Stockholm, Sweden.[2] Duns has been quoted in various publications accusing other authors of plagiarism and sockpuppetry.[3]
Life and career
Duns has been published by various British publications including The Sunday Times, The Daily Telegraph, and The Independent. His debut novel, Free Agent (2009), was the first in a series of spy thrillers featuring MI6 agent Paul Dark set at the height of the Cold War in 1969.[4]
Allegations made by Duns
R.J. Ellory
In 2012, Duns exposed novelist R. J. Ellory for writing positive reviews of his own books[5] while responding negatively to rivals, on the Amazon website, via the use of sock puppets.[6] Ellory admitted to the veracity of the accusation.[7]
Lenore Hart
Duns accused novelist Lenore Hart of plagiarising from Cothburn O'Neal's The Very Young Mrs. Poe (1956) in her book The Raven's Bride (2011). According to a Washington Times article, "Duns and Hart exchanged angry messages" on Hart's Facebook page,[8] although the book publisher rejected the allegation.[8]
Q.R. Markham
Duns has also posted excerpts of the book Assassin of Secrets by Q.R. Markham, showing how the book was plagiarism. The book was pulled by publisher Little Brown and Company.[3]
Nate Thayer
In March 2013, Duns made an accusation against freelance journalist Nate Thayer, stating that he plagiarized an article by using doctored quotes. Duns stated that Thayer claimed to have interviewed the sources when he had not.[9] The accusation was also detailed in an article by New York Magazine that stated that in the very least the citations used in the article were sloppy.[10]
In a blog post on the issue, the Columbia Journalism Review concluded that Thayer's "attribution was sloppy and he represented quotes that were said in other places as if they were said to him" but did not consider that this constituted plagiarism.[11]
Jeremy Duns is a member of International Thriller Writers.[12]
