I filled it out. Thanks for considering. I love your website! And scratch that, I'll send you a book if you review. I think I marked no on the form.

I sent in the form. I also made a note about I do not have a physical copy(paperback book) but I do have the .pdf or .kdp version I can send.

I sent in the form :)

Done, Violet. Thanks. Sean

Hi all, hope you can help. I rec'd on my Author Dashboard yesterday a "question" from 3 different people here on GR. Different people but all the same exact message. Very threatening & abusive. Telling me my family should die, called me a pig, said my book was garbage, and if I didn't pay them to review my book, they would get vicious. I ignored the questions, reached out to GR & flagged/reported the questions. Rec'd no response so far from GR. Then today I rec'd more "questions." More threatening than yesterday's. Saying they are in a different country, GR & Amazon can't touch them. They want me off of GR or they will pirate my book. They claim to be AI. So again, I ignored them. Reported & reached out again to GR. Has this happened to anyone else? And what should I do about it? What happens to my book sales or royalties if they actually do pirate my memoir? Should I be worried? Thanks for your help and God Bless.

Hi M. Rose Peluso

I'm really sorry to hear about the disturbing messages you received on your Author Dashboard. It's understandable that you're concerned about the situation. Although I haven't personally experienced this, I've heard of similar incidents occurring on various platforms.

In your case, you've already taken the right steps by reporting and flagging these messages to Goodreads (GR). However, while you wait for GR's response, it may be helpful to document any further threatening messages you receive for evidence purposes.

Regarding potential piracy of your book, it's best to consult with professionals who specialize in copyright infringement and publishing law. They can provide accurate advice on how to tackle the issue if it arises and guide you through the necessary steps to protect your rights as an author.

Remember, your safety and mental well-being should be a priority throughout this process. Consider reaching out to other authors or author communities for support and insights as they may have encountered similar situations.

I hope this situation gets resolved soon, and please let me know if there's anything else I can do to assist you.

Take care and best of luck.

Wow, Susan. Thanks for your kind advice. I did reach out to all of the Author groups I belong to on FB. And did find some peace of mind when others shared that they've experienced similiar things. One woman had a near identical experience to mine just a few days ago. Great advice from you & others. Thanks so much & take care.
