You know you've made it when....

So, I guess you know you've really made it in the publishing world when your book gets downloaded for free on some low-life's site.

I hope all those nice folks that illegally downloaded it take the time to write up a quick review for me. Oh, and that they don't get an ad-ware or mal-ware virus thanks to the download. :)

I don't have a lot of anything to tell you today.

I've got lots to do and I'm not doing any of it at the moment.

I've noticed some people have been talking about the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge already. I think sign-ups will start soon. Stay tuned. :)

Also, on Friday there will be a cover reveal for a friend's brand new book right here! Make sure you come back to check it out!

How was your weekend? 

Did you watch any football and if so will you now be watching the Super Bowl?



**P.S. - My publisher has been notified of the illegal downloads and I notified the website and they took it down. For now, anyway. Thank you. :)

  1. I'll get to enjoy the Super Bowl since I don't care which team wins.
    I'm sure my books are out there somewhere illegally.

  2. I had one of my books pirated recently. You should give your publisher the name of the site so they can send a note to have your book taken down. And yes, what a freakin pain in the butt this part of the business is. I don't know how authors with multiple books on these sites deal with it.

  3. Ah, sorry to hear you got pirated :( that sucks. Tracey has a point though, get on to your publisher and get that bugger taken down! Good luck!

  6. I'm up on a pirate site, but I firmly believe that the peeps who download from there would never buy my book anyway, so I'm not losing anything. Amusingly, I offered it for free-4-review in 3 Shelfari forums. No one replied.

    I wasn't going to do the A-Z, but if you're doing it, maybe I will too...

  7. Thank you guys.
    It does suck and I'd like to be more upset about it, but I knew it would happen eventually.

    Let's hope those that stole it will enjoy it.

  8. I always watch the Superbowl, even if the Patriots aren't playing. Which they aren't. Because they lost. Again.

    That's pretty crazy about the illegal downloading. I guess you really have made it...congrats! =)

  12. I'm not a big football fan, but I'll watch the Superbowl game. I'll be making some low carb healthy snacks for my guys. : )

    I'm sorry to hear that your book has been illegally downloaded. I've seen this blogged about several times lately. I'm glad that you were able to get the website to take it down.
