Hi @Aurora_thoughts, I hope you're well. Sorry to reach out via your message board, however I wanted to let you know that I believe your work Two Sides of a Serial Killer has been stolen and published on Amazon by someone here on Wattpad. I discovered this morning that 3 of my works had been stolen, and I'm now in the process of trying to inform anyone else that I believe may have fallen victim to this person. The author's name on Amazon is Jordan Miles, however this is s fake name/account. I'm encouraging all affected to report this person for copyright infringement, and hopefully, together, we can succeed in getting this person removed from Amazon.

@Aurora_thoughts I hope you’re successful in getting your book taken down. I do have a strong suspicion as to who on Wattpad is responsible for the theft but without the private messaging feature I’m not comfortable revealing the name on message boards. If you have KU, you should be able to see the name of the person who’s claiming copyright. Obviously I don’t have concrete proof but I’ve blocked that account, just in case. Hope this helps!

@LittleCinnamon No! r u kidding? Thank you so much for going to this length to find out other affected authors. I'm disappointed really, but not shocked, this isn't my first rodeo with wattpad or other book communities. They aren't really good at protecting privacy...which was why i stopped publishing books here.

@Aurora_thoughts hi there, I’m so sorry to be the bearer of bad news about this. The good news is that a friend of mine has already been successful in getting Amazon to start the process of removing her book. I’ve reported this person so I hope you’re able to do the same.
