Readers Have Posted My Book on Free Forums – Not Happy
Let me vent for a while, ladies, if you don’t mind. I spent many months, weeks, days, hours on my work. So, it pains me to no end when I see that readers purchase my book and then post it on illegal forums, even against 17 U.S.C. § 512 and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). Why a person would want to first pirate another person’s personal work, then pawn if off for free. Needless to say, I’ve already contacted the FBI and my lawyers. This upsets me very much and provides to me the understanding of that double-edged sword of technology. While I have loved the Kindle, Nook and PDF capabilities, I’m not sure that it’s worth being the victim of other people’s inconsiderate and costly behavior.
I just finished a great article on the CNN site about this kind of horrid effects of e-book piracy. I’m inclined to agree. If you’d like to read it, check it out. http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/01/01/ebook.piracy/index.html.
What are your thoughts? Have any of you ever experienced this with your own work or have you ever pirated?
I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Drop Date Pushed Back to July 15th Due to Printer
It’s a sad state of affairs for me ladies and gentlemen. The book is complete, but the hard copy format will not be ready until July 15th. Please world, do not be angry with me. I’m working around the clock to provide some benefits in lieu of this horrid blunder. Last time, the drop date was off by a month and half. So, I’m happy to report that it’s just ten days later. For many, it’s ten days too long. So, I’m offering this:
However, you can still pre-order on my site (www.latrivianelson.com) starting tonight or on www.dmitrysroyalflush.com.
Pre-order and you will receive a free PDF copy of the book for you to read until your book arrives. I made the announcement tonight and have received great feedback from the readers. Thanks so much for you all who have understood. And I’m so blessed to have so many supporters.
The good news is that the book will still be available on Kindle on the 5th! You can also purchase the PDF format without the hard copy for $5 on www.dmitrysroyalflush.com. So, if you don’t have a Kindle, like to read at work or home or prefer to laptop or desktop to pick up books, you won’t miss a beat. For my hardcopy readers, the printer says that it could very well be back next week, but they’ve given me that date to be safe. So, I’ll keep you updated.
For all of those who receive the PDF, please send me your thoughts through the blog, facebook and email to let me know what you think (Latrivia@LatriviaNelson.com).
And please Pray for me that I don’t jump off a cliffJ
Xoxo and all that jazz,
