I've added a few screenshots of what I found about this issue and what to make sure you'll do if you plan to self-publish your stolen book on Amazon at some point.
          	
          	It's in the last chapter of Lost in the Castle. (Wouldn't it be cool if we could post screenshots and pictures on our walls here?)

@SilviaKrpatova yes, so why not here??

@XannaLurel it's either an expensive update, or it might somehow go again the privacy, like the direct messages before? No idea :)

It's happening again. Google Books. 
          
          You can see which accounts got my books this time here, in the last chapter.

@SilviaKrpatova That makes me so mad. I'm waiting for Google Books to finish their investigation, then I'm removing my books from here.
            One of my books on there only has a 7-chapter excerpt on here and they are selling the excerpt pretending it's the whole book. The whole book is on Amazon.

@MaggieOHighley fingers crossed! I've just read about this a little more, and if the info I found is true, only the stories behind the pay wall here are protected from 'basic scrapers'.

@SilviaKrpatova Yeah, they are very laxed. The covers have my name on them, but each book has a different author on their site. Seems they don't verify the people who publish there.
            Thanks. I hope it's gone soon.

Of Love Tales and Rabbit Tails if now completed. Finally, I can start puzzling over the logline and the pitch before I submit it to the Wattys.
          
          It didn't feel so while I was writing it, but with the reading time of almost 12 hours, it is my longest book. 
          
          And there will be a sequel. I have already started writing it and will get back to it as soon as I finish writing Susurra Sapientiae, my this year's Onc entry.
          
          I'll start posting the chapters of Unravelling Le Comte D'Arcy this autumn.

New chapter of Of Love Tales and Rabbit Tails is out. 
          
          The updates will be more often now as this is the one of my stories that should be eligible for the Wattys this year, and I still have more than 20, I think, chapters to edit and publish before it will be completed. 
          
          I'll start posting book two of Alice, Unravelling Le Comte D'Arcy, as soon as I finish writing Susurra Sapientiae. 
          
          Which made it to the Onc Longlist. 
          
          So many good stories were not selected for the Longlist this year that I just want to say -- if your story is not there it only means that it didn't resonate with the judge, not that it isn't good! 
          
          I know that some of you mean to continue those stories, please do it, I'm waiting to read the rest of them ♡

@SilviaKrpatova this is a very kind message to those who didn't make it. Its what I tell myself with every rejection I get when I send to literary magazines
