Really? Someone’s stolen one of my books. Again.
A warning for other published authors:
You might remember that when I attempted to publish The Birdcage in October, I found out someone had plagiarised it and published it on Kindle under a different title. They’d been making money off my work. I publish my books to support a charity that my family is deeply involved in. The modest proceeds from my books goes to buy items from their very long wish list for the children they serve.
It took about three weeks to prove to Kindle that this was my book, and they removed the other version and allowed me to sell mine. They refused to tell me the name of the book or author, so I’ll never know who stole my work - and very likely stories from many of you. But I nearly lost my author account because they thought I was attempting to publish someone else’s work.
Now...
I Love The Way You Lie is the first book I published- it’s a Dark Loki romance. You can see the site above is using my old image. I discovered these assholes were pirating my book because Amazon oddly slashed the price on my paperback. They do this when they see a cheaper version out in the market. Here’s the problem. I just got a notice from Kindle and they’re threatening to delete my author’s account because I Love The Way You Lie is A FUCKING KINDLE UNLIMITED BOOK, which means it can ONLY SELL ON KINDLE. So while Amazon is cutting my price for a market adjustment, Kindle sees this as violating their exclusivity agreement.
So... not only are these fuckers stealing my book, they could be crippling my ability to publish. I don’t know how this is going to go, because Kindle isn’t super concerned about the lower-earning authors.
PLEASE, keep an eye on your books. Check on Google every now and then to see if they’re being sold elsewhere. Check your books to see if there’s a sudden dip in price. Kindlepreneur has a good app called ReaderScout that you can download for free from the Chrome Store - it’s free and it scans your books and alerts you to price changes.
There’s also other scams these fuckers are running where they can actually attach to your author’s page with their plagiarised copy. Unbelievable, huh?
If I weren’t doing this for the charity, I would have given up on publishing, and maybe writing all together. I’m so tired of how shitty other humans can be.
