The Terminator
This month, I think two writers on X had their accounts terminated for crossing the line between aggressive marketing, and bullying. Both are bestselling writers trying to coax me to spend more than I wanted.
They aren't the only people trying to use their celebrity status to influence me, last month Gal Gadot attempted to scam me into buying her children a Steam game card.
The first author who was guilty is Linda Lael Miller who with her agent Lina Cruz AKA Joy Mautin used her status to scam me; it was my fault for falling for the scam, after a 15-year struggle for recognition as a writer I was desperate for a break, and it cost me $150. I had my suspicions soon after Lina and I settled on the price, I agreed to $100, and when she upped the price to $150 I should have pulled out.
The second writer is Tricia O'Malley who tried to get me to buy a website to increase the sales of my eBook selection. I realise $9 a month is a small amount to pay for the possibility of greater sales, but it is more than I earn at the moment in a year, so I cannot justify spending over $100 even for one year.
