I have reverted and added a stronger note to contact this group if there are problems but there is nothing we can do except keep reverting unless GR Staff revoke his author status / ability to edit.
All I hope, then, is that they notice that! But I check the blank profile daily, so I'll soon spot if they've done it again...
I as a fan and reader had done that, please do not dump on A.B. McKinley or bad- mouth him. I am the one at fault, my intentions were to get interest so when released it would encourage sales for him and interest in his other books. I am very sorry for having caused this problem, as it has had a created great angst for all parties. Again, I apologize. Suzanne

The problem is not that the book was added to Goodreads, don't worry about that.
I have received a message from the author apologising for his actions, as he didn't understand GR policy on these things. I've explained things a bit and that it is quite typical for fans to add books as soon as they hear about them. Hopefully this one is now all cleared up! :)

This appears to be a book that isn't released yet. Now I can understand why they would want to remove the description, but the rest should stay.
Is there anything that can be done about this, save an all-out editing war?
