Facebook/Twitter Unpublished
I am receiving many emails in regards to the sudden disappearance of my Facebook Author Page and Twitter … I have been forced to temporarily ‘unpublish’ my social media sites….I know it is the worst time possible to not be connected to you all, but it is the goal of a few to ruin the release of Crashed.
Some completely, untrue, unfounded, and heinous accusations have been made about myself and my family over the past few days. The accusations have no bearing and the group’s sole way to try and make their point, is to bully and attack my pages, privately PM my readers harassing them and spread lies and rumors…
This from their page:
Congratulate me everyone…author K. Bromberg on her Facebook page has BLOCKED ME!!! I just tried to look at her page to see what was still there from my friends and I keep getting kicked back to my home page. She’s trying to keep us away so that we don’t ruin her book debut…
If you have tried to get through and get blocked please let us know here. You are all breaking though and we are making a difference, piece by every little piece. Keep it up everyone and as always THANK YOU!!!
And then: “And her book comes out tomorrow can’t wait to see the reviews…”
And then: “We should blow up her twitter account too…”
I am at a loss for words on how to go forward at this time but to ask to not engage with anyone who PM’s you with links, immediately report and slanderous reviews that you come across on Amazon as well as send the link/screenshot of the comments/harassment to me so that I can pursue a slander/defamation case on each individual that chooses to partake in the defamation of my character as well as my family’s.
Thank you for all of your support,
Kristy

I have never had the pleasure of reading any of your books (I do have them wishlisted on Amazon). I detest bullying of any form. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call on me.
People are so ignorant, I am reading Crashed right now unfortunately I had to take a break to take care of some family things and I saw your post. With just about 30% into Crashed I know that the wait for this last book was absolutely worth every second.I look forward to your future books, and remember haters get theirs in real life not just in the stories you write.
Just finished Crashed and wow this book was so worth the wait i couldn't put it down i read it all day. very sorry to read this is happening and get sorted soon. just know true fan love and support you always xx
Kristy- This breaks my heart and pisses me off! Miserable people who do nothing but try to spread their misery... GRRRRR!!! You bring amazing experiences and unforgetable emotions to so many. You make my heart pound in excitment and break in despair and I love every second of it! Please know that despite the miserable people, there are SOOOO many more that love and adore you! With all love and support..... A most enamored fan-girl, Desirae
I am very sorry to see this. I just started Crashed and cant wait to finish it. Your fans love you. Stay strong! PS.. Love the way your name is spelled ;)
I hate hearing this as well. I really enjoyed your facebook page! I stalked it often and it was a good way to count down to a book I"ve been DYING to read since Fueled. Keep your head up...you are loved by your many fans and I am thoroughly enjoying Crashed so far!!
How terrible! I can't believe people would conduct themselves in this manner?!?! For what?!? I'm sorry you have to experience this when you should just be experiencing all the positive feed back and love over Crashed...
Im sorry to hear this it saddens me at what level ignorant people go above and beyond measures to bring good people down because their miserable and want others to be as well hold your head high lady ,,,,i love your work i am a big fan of your work ,,with all my support best of luck ,,,,,
This is so awful! Sorry to hear that you are having to contend with this behavior, especially at such an exciting moment as the release for Crashed is almost here. Know that your readers support you and your writing.
Wtf?! What's wrong with people? Well I just finished CRASHED, and must wish you a fabulous congratulations on a beautiful trilogy. Whatever they are spewing will have no effect on your fans. Know you're being celebrated and appreciated by many today. We race you, baby :)
WTH!! What a bunch of haters!!!! Sounds like someone has serious issues in order for them to take it to that extreme. Keep your head held high Kristy, you've written one amazing trilogy!
This is despicable, Ms. Bromberg. I finished Crashed tonight and I loved it...absolutely loved it. Review posted.... You have our support. Don't let this taint your success and all you have accomplished. This is YOUR time. Revel in it!!
Ridiculous, people need to get over themselves and worry about their own lives and families. If you don't like something an author writes then DON"T read it!!! It's called making a choice people!!!!I've loved every bit of each of the books in the Driven Trilogy!! I'm about half way through Crashed and plan to finish it today. A sick 4yo changed my palns for my day off yesterday. I love this series so much that I read the first 2 books in about a week..and all in time for the release of Crashed!!!
It's called DEDICATION!!! LMAO!!!!
It’s very disheartening that instead of celebrating your successes you have to deal with someone else’s childishness. In this day and age we should not be trying to bring each other down but lift each other up despite our differences. Just because you don’t agree with something an author has said or written doesn’t mean you need to resort to this kind of blatant disrespect. Some of us have fallen in love with these characters and deserve to enjoy the final installment of this series and K. Bromberg deserves to enjoy the success she’s had with it.
I'm so sorry to hear about all of this. I truly hope that you succeed in your case, continue down the path of success, and I pray that this only makes you stronger as this crap should never be our end. They should never win.
What a disgrace and devastation for you and your family. This should be a happy and exciting time with the release of Crashed which I would like to say is Brilliant! I hope these individuals are caught and dealt with asap.
Your true fans love you, K.!! Devoured the first two books. I'm in the middle of Crashed now...and lovin it!!!!
OMG, i am actually getting teary reading this. How can people be so cruel and horrible. You know you have a massive fan base, and followers. Crash has been highly anticipated and well worth the wait.
the haters will not win.
Big hugs and stay strong. xxx
One More Chapter fans have a few words for you K - we're behind you!!!http://onemorechapterreviews1.blogspo...
Love all the driven trilogy best ever, keep your chin up love you heaps K and your writing.
Please ignore all of the haters out there. I hope that everything sorts itself out quickly and that you can relax and enjoy the success of Crashed (I have just finished it and love it!). Thank you again for writing the Driven trilogy, you certainly know how to make people feel, and if the rumoured book about Haddie and Becks is real I can't wait to read it :)p.s. I may never stop looking for superheros in everyday life now......
I agree with these messages! Believe that your work is respected and admired. Your books bring all the emotions to the surface but that is why we love them. Don't let ignorant childish people affect you! Know that your fan base loves you with or without social media! :)
OMG- I just logged on Goodreads to put up a review of Crashed (because it was so awesome!)I am astonished to see this update. What is wrong with people? So sorry that you had to deal with that. The book and the series was awesome. You and your family should be proud of its success.
So sorry you and your family have to go through something like this..Very sad..I have LOVED this series and couldn't wait for Crashed!!!Instead of celebrations you are having to deal with this!!!Thanks for writing such an AMAZING series!! And I cannot wait to read your next book!!! Stay STRONG and know that your fans Love and RESPECT you!!
I just finished Crashed and I have LOVED your books! You are a very talented writer!! You have gotten better with each book. In business when you are successful you will have haters. Your fans, friends and family know the truth and that's all that matters. The haters who were going to blow up your Twitter and Facebook would actually have been a blessing to you because they are too stupid to realize they would actually be promoting your book for you. Don't think for a second that some of those haters don't secretly LOVE these kinds of books, their just too scared to admit it to anyone. This isn't about reputation, because they don't know you. Shutting down your Facebook and Twitter is allowing them to win. Put it back up, let them spread the word for you and let us, your fans defend you so our social media friends can also learn about your amazing books! Stay strong and be confident in the truth. Best Wishes!!! Oh and hire a good social media person to manage your pages so you don't have to read it. <3
as the others have stated I am very sorry to hear what you are facing. please know I have read fueled, driven and current reading Crashed and i think you are a very good writer. Please do not let this bump in the road stop the work you do. When i read Driven i was happy to read about a woman that is not weak, but strong. I love how you created a Ry's character the love she showed for the children says a lot about you. I loved Ry's and Colt. i am sure their story can relate to so many/and help others. please keep up the good work, i can't wait for your next book. I totally agree with Heather, don't let them win, and take the free advertisement!
I am so sorry to hear that some people find it necessary to rain on your parade…you should be celebrating the end of a wonderful trilogy. The trilogy was truly one of my top five favorite books of all time. Try to “dance in the rain” because you deserve it for all the time and hard work you put into these books! We “race you”!
I am so sorry to hear about this!!! People can be so cruel. And I'm sad, because I'm totally trying to share CRASHED with everyone, because I LOVED it, and I can't tag you on Facebook or Twitter. :( But, once your accounts are back up and running, I will definitely still be recommending the series to everyone, and will tag your accounts then!
I am so sorry to hear about this...I am a true fan of yours...your books have been such a pleasure to read. This trilogy is definitely the BEST I've read in a very long time, if not ever! I just finished reading Crashed and it was AMAZING...left a review on Goodreads...this final book was just PERFECT...Congratulations on a phenomenal job with this finally. It was everything I ever wanted and more...thank you so much and congrats once again!
K - you did it again! Amazing. I absoutely loved Crashed. The story was beautiful. I truly every minute of it. Thank you for giving us Colton and Rylee. Whatever happened that took you off facebook, I'm so sorry. It's horrible how people can be. I hope you see this post and know that I look forward to any other stories you want to bring into my kindle world.
Congrats on a successful books!
I am very sorry to hear that such a terrible thing is happening to you. I am ABOUT 27% into the book Crashed right now. I love the Driven Trilogy series.
I'm so sorry to hear this, Kristy! It breaks my heart to hear that such a horrible thing is happening to you! How can people be so mean!? That's disgusting!! I LOVE the Driven Trilogy series! It's the best series I've EVER read! Thank you so much for giving us Colton and Rylee! They are my all time favorite couple! :)
All the best to you!
P.S. Were can I find a man like Colton? ;)
Ah, it just shows what a successful trilogy you wrote. Jealousy is the scourge of all evil things. Take heart in the knowledge that you've impacted many readers in a great way. Your writing made me laugh and cry and to do that, it takes a brilliant writer to do this. I finished Crashed tonight and tried to make it last by reading it more slowly but it didn't work - it finished anyway. I will re-read the whole three books all over again, I enjoyed them so much.Your way of connecting to the characters feelings and thoughts was fantastic. I cannot speak highly enough and cannot wait for Becks and Haddie - I just knew you would have something else for me.
Keep your spirits high - remember if Colton and Rylee can overcome their hurdles, so can you :)
I just want to say that I loved all three books but Crashed was my favorite.....Hope Beck's story will come out soon
It is so unfortunate that there are people out there that are so full of hatred for themselves that they waste time attacking others. I feel sorry for them. It must be awful going trough life with that kind of bitterness inside them. I hope you know that most people are not like that. I am sorry your release is marred by these things. On a lighter note, I have never been so glad to be the last to the bus. I am grateful that I got to read all three books back to back. The cliffhanger in Fueled would have killed me if I could not jump right to Crashed. I absolutely loved these books! You are a hell of a storyteller and you handled the abuse in the book beautifully. I cannot wait to see what you write next! I will one click that read in a nanosecond! Congratulations on an awesome trilogy well done!
