Content theft is on the rise. Bots are scraping websites like Royal Road, and peoples' novels are being posted to Amazon. I've seen novels with lower follower counts than mine get nicked. And so, I figured it's only a matter of time before the same thing happens to A Chronicle of Lies. CoL is like my child. I don't want my child to be kidnapped. And so, I made the tough decision to remove a good portion of the chapters I've posted on here, starting next Saturday.
I know this may upset some people...I'm sorry. CoL will come back when I have it available on Amazon. I'll be posting the updated chapters as a new fiction. But for now, I don't want to give the thieves too much material to work with. And so, this is my "heads up!". Next Saturday, the 27th, is when I'll nuke those chapters. So I'm giving anybody who has yet to catch up, time to do so.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
If you miss this deadline, I may host the missing chapters as a drive file on my discord. (Link below)
Status of CoL: The manuscript is pretty much done and formatted. I'm sure there are a few mistakes I missed, but I did all I could.
Right now, I'm just waiting on the graphic artist to finish my title layout, spine details, and back cover. When she's done, I'll do a few test prints, tweak it as needed, then I'll be ready to roll!
