Thanks to everyone who left help and support here.
I finally bit the bullet and went through Amazon's copyright process and was able (without using more than my nom-de-plume) demonstrate that it was my story, or at least, that it was not the purported author's story, and they removed it.
Although I did provide the same data for Karen Elizabeth L.'s story, evidently since I did not claim it, they did not remove it.
Again, my sincere thanks for the help, advice and support both here and on the Kindle store site (where several folks posted reviews supporting my ownership of the story).
Happy holidays and warm furry hugs!

I'm glad you resolved
your dispute with Amazon. If you see one with a couple of million words and over 1500 parts- it's mine.

DMCA and copyright
I'm glad you were able to get your story removed.
(Just by way of explanation, at least how I understand it:) The reason Amazon wouldn't remove the other story is that either Karen herself or an authorized representative she has needs to ask them to do that. So if you wanted to be helpful, and she wanted it taken down, you could poke her to do so.
Very glad
I'm glad that it worked out, and I appreciate your reporting back. I'm sure many of us wondered what we'd do in a similar situation.

It's good you were able to
It's good you were able to prove your copyright to Amazon, but I wonder how many copies of your story they sold before they removed it. Do they get to just keep the money from those sales?
