Very strange. The big irony here is that Michael Nemeth stole half the internet and neither Createspace nor KDP stopped him beforehand. What's going one over there, I wonder. You may want to do a Google search for your stories, just to make sure that other people haven't been posting them without your permission. The best way is to take a sentence from your story and put it in quotation marks. That way if someone changed the title it will still show up in the search. If you continue to have problems with KDP, an alternative publishing platform is smashwords. They'll distribute your book to Barnes and Noble (Nook), Apple Books, their own site, and several other smaller platforms. It's a tiny chore to format your book so that it gets past their "meatgrinder," but I've found my experiences with them to be worthwhile.
