Writers' Cafe / ACCUSATIONS of BOOK being FULL OF LIES on Review
« on: January 08, 2014, 02:04:53 pm »
I am not sure what to do here guys and so I am hoping for some feedback. I am the author of Not Easily Washed Away If you read the description you will understand how this review came about. Basically, the book is about abuse that my co-author suffered through. Her stepmother have gone on here and posted this review on all the books on Amazon, B&N and Goodreads(fake screen-name). On Amazon she goes as far as to use her real name which I left anonymous in the book and went as far as to use my co-authors real name. Now one of my friends back home that lives near them have notified me of all this so people will soon know who they are. Here is the review “I am Deborah the stepmother who Hina supposedly got me/her father to marry so she could come to America. Now pray tell me, why would she want to come and live with us when she was so sexually abused at home in Pakistan? Why would she want to come and be back with this evil father and now a stepmother me/Diane who also abuses her? Shame on Hina, and more shame on the author, Brian Levene who fell for the lies or perhaps made them up to try to get a best seller. This book is written terribly and one would assume that perhaps a person of low intelligence wrote it given the way sentences are put together, yet alone the paragraphs and chapters. Strange that getting a purse also is the best thing ever to happen, rather than giving birth to child... Sick.” http://www.amazon.com/review/R2UOZZ3Q9WY5PV/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B004BA5640&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=#wasThisHelpful
Once again, I am not sure what to do here. It bothers me that she accusing me of lying about such a touchy subject like this. I have a written a pretty lengthy comment but have been contemplating posting it. Because I do not want Amazon to say I am disobeying their guidelines. This is some of what I wrote “Nothing in the book is slander or lies. Sadly, it is 100% true, and if you expect me to unpublish the book because you are posting these reviews on here B&N, Goodreads(Salmanda, fake screen name), you have another thing coming. The truth needs to be told what you and your husband did. The truth needs to be told about predators like yourselves. As a matter a fact, maybe after you go to jail for what you have done (Bigamy, Immigration Fraud, Arson, and Insurance Fraud) then maybe I will write another book about that, since you want your name in the public’s eye Mrs. ..... Yes, the statute of limitations on what you have done is still in place.”
Honestly I do not know if I should post this. How do would you deal with this?
