Chances are, if you’re an author, your books are being pirated. I know mine are. Here is some very good information about a new service you might find handy. I’m reblogging a post from D. Wallace Peach with details about a new online service named Blasty.
I joined Blasty. It isn’t only for books, so if you have creative works out there, check it out. Here’s my Personal Invitation Link for anyone who wants to join.

Thanks again for sharing, Mary, and I encourage all your followers to check out the site. Good luck fighting those pirates. Unfortunately, they are as cute as the image 🙂

I don’t know if I told you I signed up at Blasty, Diana. Now, I’m in the waiting stage.

About 30 writers did, Mary, which I think is great. The more we fight this, the more Google will realize what a problem it is. Perhaps they’ll be a little more proactive! I think you’ll be amazed how much piracy there is and relieved to do some blasting 🙂

I’ll find out in January unless I get two more people to use my personal link. I’m in a “fight” Piracy Yahoo group. I see how awful it is across the board.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing, Mary. I only have one book out there, but dang-it, it is mine! I really should look into this… along with all my other *Shoulds*… However, i should move this to the top of the should list. Mega hugs.

You can begin with setting up Google Alerts, Teagan, if you’re curious as to where your book is mentioned, but pirated books aren’t always found that way. Or just type your book title with your name into Google search and see what comes up. I have found some that way. Blasty seems like the way to go. You have to be careful because you have your book on a lot of legit sites from doing interviews, etc. You don’t want to blast those. Neither do I. 🙂 They’re the good ones! ❤
