I don't know where you got the idea that I'm the one running a campaign to bash your book but you are dead wrong. I have never created a list other than one called books set in wisconsin. As for the picture in my avatar that's my grandson. You are a seriously messed up person and really need to get your story straight. I am reporting you for harassment.

I have seen plenty of badly behaving authors who lost their Goodreads Author status after having been reported.
With 103 books on their shelves, 69 ratings and 3 reviews including a 1-star rating for J.A.'s book, I think their account is legit.I'm guessing J.A. was suspended temporarily. We'll have to wait and see.
He has not been banned: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...Banned authors lose their Goodreads Author status.
