Alright guys! I have some BIG news!! My Attorney read through the Wattpad's Copyright policies and rules and it states it can help writers if copyright infringement happens because once it is posted on here and copyrighted as well, it is good to go for legal reasons on and off the site. So first of all, THANK YOU WATTPAD!! So that means.....I am going to repost my stories again! They still will have all the dates on them from the first time they were published, including the comments as well as being copyrighted through Wattpad also. My team stated it should be fine since they are copyrighted and are evidence for in case things happen again. However, I was also advised though that to still be cautious and if the incident happened again, we may need to remove them all permanently, depending. Also, I wanted to give a shout-out to the person who informed me about the published book someone had done on Amazon copying my story. And I am not saying anyone should be doing this all the time or at all, however, if anyone gets wind or finds someone having the same exact story as mine and had copied it, even if the similarities are there, please let me know ASAP! I would greatly appreciate it! :) ❤️  Love you all! :) Hopefully the stories can also help you all through any chaos. You all help me get through a lot already and continue doing so with your comments and enjoying my stories. Love you all and huuuuge hugs and much love and light to you guys!!! 
          	
          	And if anyone is reading this who is even thinking about copying mine or anyone else's work, you will be reported and Amazon or anyone you try to publish again, mine or someone else's work through, will ban you from ever having be published again through anybody. Not to mention the law will be involved. So please, take this as your first and final warning not to steal mine or any other writers' work, for the consequences could end you up in jail and huge fines. Thank you!

The latest story, 'The Rush' will be up and be updated as well. Although I need to go through all of the stories and repost chapter by chapter but it will be worth it and bear with me guys for it may take all day today. Lol. Also, just a heads up, for the stories 'How Alpha Found His Luna' and 'When The Alpha Met His Luna,' I personally am not going to be publishing their sequels. Instead, for a couple of the sequels, I may end up turning them into their own separate stories in general. But the sequels to the other stories, I am still debating on those as well. I just don't feel I am that good at the sequels but who knows. Either way, I will let you all know in the future as I go along if I will keep them or not, but definitely won't be making the first two I mentioned into sequels when published. But will have good endings. :);)

Alright guys! So the investigation is over and they removed that girls book from the entire thing. But I am still working with my team to figure out whether or not I can republish on here my other stories and how to do so so that it is safe. Again, I will continue in updating you all with the progress of it and of course the decision that is made. I am sorry I did remove the two stories after getting word from Amazon that they removed her book. I apologize again for any inconvenience and truly do appreciate you guys' patience, love and support throughout all of this. :) ❤️ love you guys!!! Huuuuge hugs and much love and light sent to you all!

@BettieBurton I am so happy for you to get that straightened up, hope you can put your stories on here again safely and protected, good luck, will be waiting to hear more news

Heyy gurll are you on any other reading apps for me to read fitness vs curves?…. I really love that book you created and am really sad to not see it be available to read.

BettieBurton

@Sunny_Boxx  Helloooo! I am not on any other reading apps. I have looked at others and I apologize for the inconvenience. However, since recently I have caught someone on Amazon publish a book with content from both books you see up to read right now (in which I have to have them up until Amazon investigates and needed to see them published on here as part of proof). My Attorney, Publisher and Manager/Agent have advised that I remove my stories for now from any platform until they are published. In which I will always give a sneek peek on here along with link to where everyone can get the full versions on here and on my FB. I am currently trying to discuss a way to repost them onto here again and will update everybody daily with how things are going, including what my team and I decide is best. Because although every story of mine is copyrighted and the evidence shows all of that, it is frustrating to know that people can screen shot your work and then publish it as their own. Wattpad disabled that feature before but I guess they obviously removed that great feature for some reason and now I am dealing with this issue for the second time ever. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment, but once more, I will be sure and update you all once I get word of things. :) I love you guys and appreciate the understanding as well as your patience and support through it all. ❤️

I was reading alot of your books and I was wanting to reread some and I see just two books up there now what happened I'm confuse...

BettieBurton

@Korapage123  Hello! I apologize for any inconvenience and confusion but I recently have been trying to deal with someone who took context from both my books and made it into a book of her own - word for word and published it on Amazon. I am currently trying to get her to have it removed and have Amazon do it and in the meantime, unfortunately, my team (aka: Attorney, Publisher and agent felt it was best to remove my stories. Although they are copyrighted and I have evidence as well, to prove it, they still suggested I remove them until they are published and or we could find another way to have them republished onto here again. We are currently trying to figure out a plan. I only have the two up because Amazon needed to see them published on here as part of the investigation. :/ I will continue to keep everybody posted though. :) ❤️ Again, I am so sorry.

@lonelygirl2323  You are very welcome! Lol. I can't believe I had not thought of that and assumed. Lol. And thank you also for wanting to follow. :) ❤️

Thanks guys for the love and support like always. The guy just emailed me back and explained that for every type of copy (paperback, hardcover or ebook version) you have to create a case for each kind in order for them to remove it. It's a stupid policy but whatever. And they did after all remove the Kindle version instantly so I have faith they will do it again. I created one for the paperback version just now and fingers crossed it works. They already saw the proof and evidence but like they said, I apparently needed to do it for both versions. So yes, you will see those two stories up again but don't get attached since it's just long enough for them to see it and remove her book. Ugh. But again, I know it will be taken care of and she hasn't gotten to me in a way to deter me or let it affect me in a negative way. Love you all and again will update you all soon. :)❤️
          
          But publishing How Alpha Found His Luna is in the works. :) YAY!!!!!

lonelygirl2323

@BettieBurton well good luck with everything, so sad it happened and you have to make a case for each one, hope all goes well with it all
Reply

BettieBurton

@teestoriess well, don't get too attached though because as soon as they look at it it will have to be removed again. I just needed to give them the links so they can see it. And am still working on speaking with my team about that. :)

Hey guys! In response to a few messages ago posted on my board here about not being able to follow me on Amazon. I guess I need to create an Author's profile on there (which I am in the works of doing so) and I mistakenly assumed that my publishers had already done so. It was just a miscommunication. Lol. So I will create one then put the link down in here and you guys can begin following that as well. :) ❤️

Hiya, i was halfway through how Alpha found his luna when the balance of the book failed to load. I tried to reload but now can not find...any ideas where I can find that book and the other...

lonelygirl2323

@Meltheaussie so sad, your books are so amazing, have read them all more than once, now I will have to wait and hope you can get it all figured out, stupid people, write your own books, not take someone else's, good luck with everything, hope you can get it all straightened out so I can reread your books again

@Meltheaussie  Hey there!! Forgive me for that. I am hoping I am able to repost my stories again soon but due to a recent incident my team (Attorney, Publisher and Manager) have advised me to remove them for now until we can come up with a better way. We are discussing a plan to see if I can and hopefully will be able to repost them again. However, I check on here everyday as well as my FB and I promise to update everyone on here and there on updates about books being published and any news about me putting the stories on this writing platform again. :)

Hey guys! 
          
          I recently received an email from Amazon and the website she had the book on and the one website removed it entirely and Amazon confirmed that she did indeed steal my work and therefore immediately removed it from their system. They said I won't be able to no longer see it on Amazon for 2-3 business days before it is entirely removed but she will not be able to make any more money off of it.  Spoke with my Attorney, Manager and Publisher who stated they felt it was best if I were to no longer post any stories on here.....EXCEPT that I can always post the same amount of 'sample/preview' pages as I do in Amazon and then if anyone wishes to purchase them they can and I would provide the link(s). I have tried to get Wattpad to publish my stories and they have not gotten back to me throughout the years and that is okay. No worries. But that is why I can't post like the others that Wattpad publishes where they can post the first couple chapters and then people pay with coins. Not unless they accept my stories. However, I will not be waiting for that moment to come, since I have received offers from others whom are interested in my stories and besides, I have sent off a few stories already to my publisher and we are working on the next book to come out which will of course be the 'How Alpha Found His Luna'. Again, don't worry if nobody has FB to follow me or what not because again, I will be posting on here nearly everyday and updating you all about things. :)  Once more, I'm truly sorry I can not post any anymore onto here. It's just exhausting to have to catch people with submitting my stories as their own and going through what I just had to, etc. So to avoid the risk, my legal team has advised me not to post. Also, if anybody else discovers someone has taken my stories and did the same thing as this last girl, then please give me a shout out and the info. I hope I don't lose any of you guys and will help stick this out with me as well.

Hey guys, so I am not sure as to why it won't let you guys follow me for my profile on Amazon but I just emailed my publisher agent and as soon as I get word from her, I promise to update you guys with the link. I apologize for the inconvenience. It's annoying. Lol
