Same thing with getting his first book published; before the ink even dries on his contract he's writing a "let me tell you how the publishing business works" series.

Nice shirt, stupid. What the fuck is up with that collar? It may be worse than the german meatloaf titty sweater's collar thing. I'm beginning to suspect this PorkRick guy dresses like an asshole.

Just filter by html, sort the pages by FROM date, and pick the earliest versions of each page. He is such a fucking "fake it till you make it" fraud who has been trying to assert his non-existent authority at everything he pretends to do. He's been calling himself an author since before he published anything:

For some reason the wayback machine didn't crawl his "About" page circa 2011, which I would've been very curious to read. This short story with weird title does have a blurb at the end where he seems to lie about "snuggling with his wife". He was been marriages at the time:
