He rate..." Thanks for the heads up. I find it amazing that someone would have nothing better to do.
Thanks for the warning. I hate internet trolls.
Hi everyone, I’m Daniel an eBook cover design expert. I enjoy helping authors strengthen how their books are presented to readers through clear, genre-appropriate, and visually compelling cover design.As part of my first service to new authors, I offer **free book cover design** to help improve visual appeal and reader interest. The design itself is completely free; only any optional promotion or marketing afterward would be paid.
I’m always happy to share free tips or honest feedback on cover design if it’s helpful. Looking forward to learning, contributing, and supporting authors here.
You can view some of my work here: [https://spynyx.site/](https://spynyx....
Has anyone else been approached by a 'name' author offering to put them in touch with a 'professional book expert'?

He never rates/reviews on Amazon because that would need him to use his real account.
He rated more than 50% of the books he "read" 1 star. He is either a terrible book picker and splurges tons of money on terrible books or he is a jealous creep who goes around downgrading successful books without ever reading a single page of them.
When I asked him what about my book made him uncomfortable, he further went and downvoted all my books, including one that isn't even mine (author has same name as mine) and somehow is tied to my author account. (I disambiguated it now and requested goodreads to decouple from my account.)
He even went ahead one more step and rated a puzzle book which I never sold a single copy of and something that isn't available as an ebook. It hasn't even been in circulation for the past few months.
This settles it. He is rating books without reading them.
If you are a victim of this person's spiteful rating and i am sure some of you are (he rated 106 books - 50% of them 1 star), please report this 'KarensKael' account as spam.
