So What Do I Do?

Pirating abounds!  Recently I discovered websites offering two of my ebooks for a free download.  And someone took my "The Secret of Lucianne Dove" quiz off of Goodreads and put it on their metaphysics-knowledge website. Weird. That doesn't bug me so much, but the pirating of my books disturbs me.  One site even had a huge review of Chapel Playhouse that included so much detail I know the person actually read the book. They didn't put the review on Amazon which would have been nice for me, but only on their site.  Well, if they can pirate my book, I can put their review (at least the last paragraph of it) on my blog.

"Chapel Playhouse is an excellent mixture between a paranormal mystery and a sort of new-age gothic horror book, as it mixes supernatural elements with elements of the gothic horror genre. It offers characters with strong, complex personalities and a plotline with twists and turns that will keep you reading till the very end. The story isn’t very straightforward, it’s complex and multilayered and the mysteries are solved only one at a time, the final clues lingering till the very end of the novel. This book reads very much like a TV series in the style of Supernatural, except that it’s a lot more complicated and would take more than one hour to solve. It also adds the concept of everyone being able to see ghosts, at least up to some level, which I find both frightening and intriguing. This novel was, at least to me, more frightening than the previous one in the series and I loved it all the more for that. If you’re a fan of ghosts, the paranormal or just solving mysteries, then Chapel Playhouse definitely is your kind of thing."

​Nice review. Not nice pirating my book to give away for free.

    Here goes . . .

    I write novels. I've written screenplays, short stories, newsletters, business communications and articles. I'm not great at thank you notes. My sister is, but she doesn't know it. I'm not much for blogging. Don't have something to say worth reading everyday. But this is a blog and we'll see what turns up.
