It didn’t take long.
After I submitted my official complaint to the Ohio Attorney General, complete with documentation of spam emails, legal threats, inflated credentials, and what appear to be misleading marketing practices, Myron Grace responded exactly as anticipated: with deflection, victimhood, and a noticeable lack of self-awareness.
Let’s start with the opening line of his reply:
“Artur Mills was repeatedly asked to block my email address…”
Yes, Artur. Not Arthur. This from someone who claims to have won a journalism award comparable to the Pulitzer Prize. Misspelling the complainant’s name in an official response to a state agency is careless.
More importantly, that line confirms a key point of my complaint: that Myron Grace continued emailing me after I requested to be removed. Someone with an actual legal background would know better than to admit that in writing, especially in a formal response to a government agency. Instead of following federal law and honoring my opt-out request, he tried to shift responsibility onto me. Under the CAN-SPAM Act, senders must stop emailing recipients who opt out within 10 business days. The recipient has no legal obligation to "block" an address.
According to my records, Myron Grace continued sending emails through at least July 3, 2025, well after multiple opt-out requests. His own words submitted to the Attorney General back that up.
So how does he respond when his statements support the complaint against him?
“He is stalking me.”
Investigating someone’s public business practices isn't stalking. Reporting on someone's public claims, analyzing court documents, and sharing findings for the benefit of other consumers isn't harassment. It's protected speech.
Ohio law defines stalking as a pattern of behavior that causes another person to fear for their safety or experience serious mental distress. I have never contacted Myron Grace directly except to ask that he stop emailing me. I haven't threatened him. I haven’t visited him, called him, or otherwise engaged in behavior that meets the legal threshold for stalking.
However, Myron Grace has sent me repeated unsolicited emails, ignored removal requests, and tried to use legal threats to suppress criticism, actions that align more closely with harassment than anything I’ve done.
He’s also made sweeping claims about his credentials and professional reach. Among them:
- Claims of media exposure in the millions
- Offers of author marketing services with shifting pricing
- Statements suggesting affiliations with major publishers, studios, and celebrities
- Legal threats referencing terms like "namesake" (which appears to be a misused attempt at referring to "name and likeness")
I also reviewed records of his "Jusice Foundation"—yes, spelled that way. Public court records indicate that the so-called foundation isn't a staffed legal entity. It's just a Yahoo email account to intimidate those who challenge him.
Myron Grace has a history of filing lawsuits. For example, Myron Grace filed suits alleging racial discrimination, fiduciary violations, and civil rights infringements. Several of these lawsuits were dismissed early, with some judges citing res judicata, meaning he attempted to refile previously resolved claims. In one instance, he sued over a delayed wire transfer and framed it as a constitutional rights issue.
Meanwhile, the same person who claims to operate a national author support network and has access to millions of dollars, celebrity networks, has also appeared in public eviction records tied to subsidized housing. Court documents indicate that after being evicted from his subsidized housing unit, he filed civil rights complaints that were again dismissed.
The contrast between Myron Grace’s public persona of wealth, power, and education and the documented reality raises significant concerns. If someone is offering high-dollar marketing services, promising results based on unverified claims, and threatening critics with lawsuits, authors deserve to know the full picture before engaging.
Myron Grace claims I violated his civil rights by using his “namesake” in a graphic. This is factually and legally incorrect. A “namesake” refers to someone named after another. This has nothing to do with using a person’s image or name in commentary. If Grace meant to invoke his right of publicity, that also doesn’t apply here. I’m not profiting off his likeness, nor am I using it in advertising. This is editorial criticism based on public information, which is fully protected under the First Amendment. No laws were broken, and no rights were violated.
This isn't personal. This is consumer protection. It’s about ensuring that indie authors, many of whom are operating on tight budgets and deep hope, aren't misled by exaggerated credentials or legal intimidation.
So Myron: You brought this attention on yourself by refusing to stop contacting people who asked to be left alone. If you continue making public claims, you can expect public scrutiny. That’s not harassment. That’s accountability.
And no, it’s not over. Not until every author you’ve emailed, solicited, or intimidated understands what those emails really mean.

Why did you create Misleading by Design?
As a writer, I’ve experienced the joy of creating stories but also the frustration of navigating the publishing world. Behind the scenes, the process of marketing a book is filled with scams, schemes, and people looking to take advantage of authors. With over 30 years of experience in intelligence and investigations, I realized I could use those skills along with my writing background to help expose the bad actors in our industry and beyond. Misleading by Design is my way of fighting back.
Your projects seem all over the place. Why not just stick to one subject or theme?
At first glance, my projects might seem scattered. I write about ghost stories, spiritual preservation, investigative reporting, and even political analysis. But they all serve one purpose. Each one invites readers to interpret what they see based on their own beliefs, experiences, and instincts. That's the heart of Branching Plot Books. Whether it's a scroll sealed with a forgotten soul, a book that can be read multiple ways, or a report that exposes something hidden in plain sight, the goal is the same. I want readers to take an active role, to question the surface, and decide what they believe is real. The stories may differ, but the purpose is always connected.
What is Misleading by Design’s Briefing Room?
It’s an investigative blog that exposes political bias, fraud, scams, and manipulation in institutions that claim to educate or protect the public. That includes universities, publishing platforms, corporate programs, and anything else hiding an agenda behind a professional front.
Who runs this blog?
I do. Arthur Mills. I’m a retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 and former All-Source Intelligence Technician with 31 years of experience in intelligence and investigations. I’ve tracked extremist threats, exposed political corruption, and led intelligence operations. I’ve seen what real indoctrination looks like, and I’m calling it out when I see it again. This time in classrooms and consumer markets.
Are you affiliated with any political group?
No. I don’t work for any party, PAC, campaign, or media outlet. I’m not here to push an agenda or play politics. I’m here to expose whoever’s lying, misrepresenting, or manipulating others, regardless of which side they’re on.
When I worked in the private sector, I conducted opposition research and tracked domestic extremist groups from across the political spectrum. I’ve investigated threats from both the left and the right. I don’t excuse violence, bias, or propaganda just because it aligns with one side’s agenda. If you're hiding your motives behind credentials, credentials behind ideology, or ideology behind fake neutrality, you're part of the problem. And you’ll show up here.
Why are you investigating food? What does this have to do with Branching Plot Books?
Because it’s the most common scam nobody talks about. Fast food chains show thick burgers and crisp fries in their ads, then hand you a flattened mess in a greasy bag. Grocery stores use packaging that promises quality but delivers bland, shriveled, or half-empty products. It’s manipulation through presentation. They sell the illusion, not the item.
And that’s the same trick used in education, politics, publishing, and everywhere else. If they can sell you a lie in a sandwich, they can sell it anywhere.
Misleading by Design fits the larger mission of Branching Plot Books by turning real-world scams into something the reader has to question, interpret, and investigate. Like my other projects, it doesn’t hand you answers. It gives you evidence, patterns, and contradictions, then dares you to put the pieces together. Whether it’s testimonies from the lost souls, curriculum bias, staged food ads, or publishing cons, the goal is the same: to make you rethink what you’ve been told and see how easily truth gets packaged, sold, and distorted.
What made you investigate American Military University?
Because it claims to train intelligence and homeland security professionals. What it’s actually doing is grooming students to think one way, speak one way, and ignore anything that doesn’t fit the school's left-wing agenda. That isn’t education. That's political indoctrination.
When I was tracking domestic extremist groups, I kept asking the same question. Where does this hate come from? What feeds it? I suspected the root was in their education. What they were taught. What they were not taught. That includes schools and universities.
After retiring from the military, I decided to get the formal education to match my experience. I chose a degree in Counter-Terrorism from American Military University. It promotes itself as a leader in intelligence, counter-terrorism, and homeland defense. It’s one of the largest programs of its kind. On paper, it looked like the right fit.
It wasn’t.
Course after course, it became clear that AMU wasn’t teaching students how to counter terrorism. It was teaching them how to adopt one worldview. How to view one side as the enemy. How to justify violence and extremism from the other. This wasn’t counter-terrorism. It was a curriculum on how to become a left-wing extremist.
I document everything. The entire report is published on The Briefing Room, in serialized form. I sent it to professors and top university officials. They ignored it. They didn’t defend their curriculum. They didn’t ask for clarification. They ignored me. They know I’m on to them.
That's why I’m staying in the program. I’m not there for the degree anymore. I don’t need it. I’m there to finish the investigation. American Military University has built a propaganda machine. And I plan to expose every part of it.
Do you accept tips or leads?
Yes. If you’ve seen something worth investigating, send it through my contact page. I check everything personally.
This includes curriculum bias at any level, from elementary schools to universities. If you’ve seen political agendas being pushed in grade school lesson plans, high school classrooms, college syllabi, or university programs, I want to hear about it. If you’ve dealt with fake credentials, unethical hiring, publishing fraud, corporate indoctrination, or institutional censorship, send it in. I follow evidence, not agendas.
If something feels off and you think no one else will touch it, send it anyway. I’ll look into it.
