Hello there!
          
          I was wondering if you knew your work, unfortunately was stolen by someone known as  @/NGUYENBAKIEN and is currently selling it on Google Books. 
          
          It is your ONC book, The Claiming Season.
          
          
          I am so sorry this happened to you. I hope you can get this resolved soon.

@RachWriters Hopefully! I filed as well, they were quick to take the books down at least.

It seems several of us are in the same boat. My partner and I just filed a DMCA takedown notice with Google. If we all report these fake editors, the procedure could trigger their repeat infringer policy and get the accounts terminated much faster.

@RachWriters No worries, that's how it goes sometimes. I guess it's a sign to start self-publishing.

Hey, I was going to ask if you were willing to read Airport Connection.  Can you let me know what you think?  I trashed a couple chapters last night and I think I’m going to trash the first one too, as the story is going in another (hopefully better) direction than I originally planned

JonasMirs

@Femdan Oh! That's so ironic, I started it already. I see what you mean. The first chapter is fine, but it does seem a bit like a prologue almost. I like the idea of going back in time and telling the story, but chapter two seems different/disconnected a bit. I thought we'd start with the story teller narrative in chapter 2 before shifting more into a flashback option. That said, chapter 2 could be a nice start for the story on its own. 
            
            I think what you have is really good though, and I enjoy your writing voice, so I think whatever you do will work well ❤

Hi! Thank you for reading my WIP! As you can tell, I'm a reader not a writer but thanks for reminding me I still have this story line floating around in my brain! I'm also enjoying The Claiming Season & look forward to reading all of your works! Be safe! <3

@sracevedo19 Hi Space! I enjoyed it! Writing is always a work in progress. Doesn't mean you're not a writer ❤❤❤

Wow. Just... Wow.
          *enthusiastic claps* 
          Claiming Season, for damn sure, is my favorite of your stories so far and I'm so damn glad I looped back around to read it after you competed it! You hit all those points so well, *every chapter*, that I was *there* with them for the ride! 
          Cheers on a fabulous effort, that was so refreshing to read... I can't even express how it felt perfectly ok to read through each chapter, slowly... To just *marinate* in the feelings/thoughts of the characters and be so present. No rush to see what happens next. 
          To just feel the weight and security (warmth even) of each moment as it passed!
          Now to (impatiently) patiently wait for the next installment...

@foolalex Thank you, I really appreciate this. The way you described being able to take your time with it and just sit in the moments and characters means a lot. ❤ ❤ ❤

Just stopping by to thank you for reading "She of the Sea." I really appreciate it. I started "The Claiming Season," but won't be able to read it as fast as you read my story, because I have so many other stories on my list. Best of luck with ONC.

Thank you!
