There is a trend on social media, primarily TikTok, where readers are encouraged to return books they have already read, taking away substantial earnings from indie authors like myself and small publishing houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is reminiscent of Audible’s situation a year or so ago, where readers were found returning audiobooks after they were fully listened to. Amazon responded to our pleas by putting additional safeguards in place. We need them to listen again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please, help support the publishing industry and me against this fraud. Help me show authors\u2013and readers\u2013that the blood, sweat, and tears poured into these novels are appreciated and that we cannot possibly live without them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
