I have run giveaway campaigns for Ribbons of Death and The Harmony Scroll, and as a result, gathered quite a few reviews. However, every day I get a review Amazon removes one - to date they've removed legitimate and totally legal (80% of them fully verified purchases) 30+ reviews for Ribbons of Death and close to 2o reviews for The Harmony Scroll.
I'd just like to take this opportunity and reach out to all those readers who reviewed one or both books, to thank them for their effort and to let them know that I greatly appreciate their reviews and, of course, the fact they read my books. At this point, Amazon's deeply flawed algorithms are rabidly moving across the site, removing totally legitimate reviews for many, many authors and since this is totally automated action - without a single living entity behind it - there is nothing that can be done. I can't keep up with cross-referencing reviews on Amazon, Barnes&Noble and Goodreads to see which ones they removed - all I see is one day review numbers go up and the next more are removed. It's become so frustrating that I had to speak out about it. Thank you and please, regardless of the rabid entity that Amazon has morphed into, if you feel you want to leave a review, please do so. I'll copy it quickly (hopefully) and soon I will have my new website so that's where I'll keep them safely out of harm's way :) Thanks again, Edita
