Shannon (theholyterror) | 87 comments So this might need it's own thread, I'm not sure, but I stumbled on this author, Skye Daphne, and it seems like her books are all just written into the descriptions. Like, the entire book even with "The End" written at the end is all in the description. I see nowhere that these have been actually published and none of them have ASINs or ISBNs. I'm not even sure this author should BE an author on here (which means her quotes should be deleted as well.) It's a very strange case.

Here are the books that I think should be deleted, which is why I posted in this thread:

Don't even get me started on the weird capitalization and "series" numbering ...

I can't find a record of that ISBN and whomever created the record left no other data and didn't merge the book with the other versions

One of those books was supposedly published by HarperCollins (a HUGE publisher) in 2012...yet has no ISBN, no other editions? I think this "author" needs to be deleted. Here is the author's other profile, her non-author profile:
http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/84...

I'm not going to mention any names or use any explicit words, that would be wrong, but read between the lines: someone....on this site....was fl****d....for something that starts with the letter P.

Look at the Popular Shelves she's been shelved on for a clue.

[Really? One of her books is Large Print....and another is Small Print??]

Yeah, I know, not fishy at all ...

I found the other profile first and reported it for reviewing her own books and that's when everything else started coming out.

It seems like she should be using the "writing" section of this site and stop pretending she published something.

Are they not different? It looks like an ebook and a paperback.

issue- wrong author name.

I have created a new page for book with the write author name which is http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...


However, it will be better if you can designate the right Pakistani author in the 1st link book as this have 53 ratings.. I'll delete the new page then.

Well since her author profile is still here today, I flagged one of her photos and suggested she be looked into as a sham author. Hopefully at least her "author" profile will disappear.

Danielle Taylor (danielle_taylor) | 41 comments Hi there, I hope I'm posting in the right place...

This is a serial novella that I started writing Falling for You

I've received great news from a publisher and they want me to turn the novella into a full novel but they won't sign me until the book is removed from all public platforms (including my blog, which I am doing right now). So, if it's not too much trouble, could you please remove it from Goodreads? It might have a different title and will be a completely different book by the time it is finished.

Thank you so much!

Danielle


message 173: by Daniel (new)

Daniel (vankog) | 44 comments Hi Danielle,

what do you mean by removing? As far as I can see there is no ebook attached at your entry nor any link to the ebook listed.
As Goodreads only lists metadata of books, I see no reason why the entry itself should be removed. There are already users that reviewed this book and do want to show, that they have got a copy of it.
Even if we remove it, the chance is high that this entry will show up again soon when someone adds his missing edition again.

Cam (camthereader) | 608 comments Hi, was adding a alternate cover and saw some librarian notes from the author on her books asking if someone could remove/delete the extra kindle copies made.

I've deleted the ebook that was available to download but the publisher wants the data removed, the cover, etc, before they'll talk signing. It's not even a finished book (about halfway) and no one can even buy it anywhere (it was free on my blog). It'll be completely moot as the publisher wants to change the title and some of the character's names.

Thanks.

Deon (deonva) | 3718 comments re: 193
"Company of Rogues" is the series
"A Rouge Regency Romance" is the type/style of book

Rogue/Rouge is not misspelled, it is not referring to the series. I have edited the title none the less.

If you have any further questions, please start a new thread.


message 187: by Danielle (new)

Danielle Taylor (danielle_taylor) | 41 comments I don't know why you won't delete it. It isn't even technically a book and no one has purchased it! There has never been an ISBN or AISN or whatever. I can't sign with this publisher until you delete Falling for You

Why? It looks like the ISBN needs fixing, though."



Sorry for the long deley, but it's because this is a duplicate: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...

I added it because I couldn't find it, but I found the book (on the second author's Goodreads page) a bit later.

The link below is the correct one:

It's not a duplicate; it has a unique ISBN. I have combined it with the other editions, but nothing needs deletion.
